A Comparison of Neural Decoding Methods and Population Coding Across Thalamo-Cortical Head Direction Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019 Head direction (HD) cells, which fire action potentials whenever an animal points its head in a particular direction, are thought to subserve the animal’s sense of spatial orientation.

Micromachines, 2022 Simultaneous monitoring of animal behavior and neuronal activity in the brain enables us to examine the neural underpinnings of behaviors. Conventionally, the neural activity data are buffered, amplified, multiplexed, and then converted from analog to ...

A Bio-Inspired 3-D Neural Compass Based on Head Direction Cells
IEEE Access, 2021 Head direction cells (HDCs) in mammals’ brains are thought to provide the sense of direction (function of a compass). They fire when the animal’s head points to a specific orientation.

Grid cells are modulated by local head direction
Nature Communications, 2020 Neurons with grid firing fields are thought to play important roles in spatial cognition. Here, the authors show that in contrast to assumptions underlying current models and analyses, grid fields are modulated by local head direction; this suggests ...

Journal of Automation and Intelligence, 2023 To derive meaningful navigation strategies, animals have to estimate their directional headings in the environment. Accordingly, this function is achieved by the head direction cells that were found in mammalian brains, whose neural activities encode one’

Head direction maps remain stable despite grid map fragmentation
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2012 Areas encoding space in the brain contain both representations of position (place cells and grid cells) and representations of azimuth (head direction cells).

Nature Communications, 2022 Vision plays an important role in the head direction cell system in animals. Here the authors recorded from head direction cells in rd1 mice that show retinal degeneration at 1 month, and find that they use smell cues to maintain stable HD tuning.

During hippocampal inactivation, grid cells maintain synchrony, even when the grid pattern is lost
eLife, 2019 The grid cell network in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) has been subject to thorough testing and analysis, and many theories for their formation have been suggested.

Video data for the cognitive mapping process of NeuroBayesSLAM system
Data in Brief, 2020 Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), which addresses the problem of constructing a spatial map of an unknown environment while simultaneously determining the mobile robot's position relative to this map, is regarded as one of the key ...
