Optimal cue combination and landmark-stability learning in the head direction system. [PDF]
, 2016 Maintaining a sense of direction requires combining information from static environmental landmarks with dynamic information about self-motion. This is accomplished by the head direction system, whose neurons - head direction cells - encode specific head

Learning place cells, grid cells and invariances with excitatory and inhibitory plasticity [PDF]
, 2018 Neurons in the hippocampus and adjacent brain areas show a large diversity in their tuning to location and head direction, and the underlying circuit mechanisms are not yet resolved.

Activity dependent feedback inhibition may maintain head direction signals in mouse presubiculum
Nature Communications, 2017 Head direction is encoded by cells in the presubiculum, but the role of local circuitry in head direction encoding remains unknown. Here the authors demonstrate how a specific inhibitory neuron type, the Martinotti cell, together with excitatory ...

NEURAL MODELS OF HEAD-DIRECTION CELLS [PDF]
From Associations to Rules, 2008 After a review of the purpose and biological background of Head Direction Cells, and existing models of them, we introduce an improved neural model that integrates visual flow information with the vestibular inputs found in earlier models. Simulation results using real video inputs are presented to explore and validate the new model, the evolutionary ...

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019 Complex spatial representations in the hippocampal formation and related cortical areas require input from the head direction system. However, a recurrent finding is that behavior apparently supported by these spatial representations does not appear to ...

Planar cell polarity: Heading in the right direction [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2005 AbstractEpithelial cells are patterned not only along their apical–basolateral axis, but also along the plane of the epithelial sheet; the latter event is regulated by the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway. PCP regulates diverse outputs, such as the distal placement of a hair in all cells of the Drosophila wing, and convergent extension movements ...

Topography of Head Direction Cells in Medial Entorhinal Cortex [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Neural circuits in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) support translation of the external environment to an internal map of space, with grid and head direction neurons providing metrics for distance and orientation.We show here that head direction cells in MEC are organized topographically.

Nature Communications, 2022 Signals about head orientation and movement in the vestibular periphery are fundamental to the sense of balance and motion, but difficult to measure systematically during head motion.

Place cells, head direction cells, and the learning of landmark stability [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1995 Previous studies have shown that hippocampal place fields are controlled by the salient sensory cues in the environment, in that rotation of the cues causes an equal rotation of the place fields. We trained rats to forage for food pellets in a gray cylinder with a single salient directional cue, a white card covering 90 degrees of the cylinder wall ...

How environment and self-motion combine in neural representations of space [PDF]
, 2015 Estimates of location or orientation can be constructed solely from sensory information representing environmental cues. In unfamiliar or sensory-poor environments, these estimates can also be maintained and updated by integrating self-motion information.
