How the brain implements recognition of familiar faces, objects, and scenes at the neural level?

Bicanski and Burgess 2019 propose that grid cells support visual recognition memory, by encoding translation vectors between salient stimulus features. They provide an explicit neural mechanism for the role of directed saccades in hypothesis-driven, constructive perception and recognition, and
