The hippocampal formation is critically involved in learning and memory and contains a
large proportion of neurons encoding aspects of the organism's spatial surroundings. In the …

Entorhinal cortical grid cells fire in a periodic pattern that tiles space, which is suggestive of a
spatial coordinate system. However, irregularities in the grid pattern as well as responses of …

Many animals rely on an internal heading representation when navigating in varied
environments,,,,,,,,–. How this representation is linked to the sensory cues that define …

In the Drosophila brain,'compass' neurons track the orientation of the body and head (the
fly's heading) during navigation,. In the absence of visual cues, the compass neuron network …

The head direction (HD) system functions as the brain's internal compass,, classically
formalized as a one-dimensional ring attractor network,. In contrast to a globally consistent …

To guide navigation, the nervous system integrates multisensory self-motion and landmark
information. We dissected how these inputs generate spatial representations by recording …

Neural representations of head direction (HD) have been discovered in many species.
Theoretical work has proposed that the dynamics associated with these representations are …

The discovery of entorhinal grid cells has generated considerable interest in how and why
hexagonal firing fields might emerge in a generic manner from neural circuits, and what their …

Exploration, consolidation and planning depend on the generation of sequential state
representations. However, these algorithms require disparate forms of sampling dynamics …

To navigate, we must continuously estimate the direction we are headed in, and we must
correct deviations from our goal. Direction estimation is accomplished by ring attractor …
