Angular and linear speed cells in the parahippocampal circuits
Nature Communications, 2022 It remains unclear how the hippocampal region integrates position and self-motion information to update spatial representations. Here, the authors report grid and head direction cells as well as cells encoding self-motion parameters such as angular head ...

Path integration of head direction: updating a packet of neural activity at the correct speed using axonal conduction delays. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The head direction cell system is capable of accurately updating its current representation of head direction in the absence of visual input. This is known as the path integration of head direction.

Characterization of the Temporomandibular Joint of Southern Sea Otters (Enhydra lutris nereis). [PDF]
, 2015 The structure-function relationship of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of southern sea otter has largely not been described. This study aims to describe the histological, biochemical, and biomechanical features of the TMJ disk in the southern sea otter.

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.

The vestibular contribution to the head direction cells signal and navigation
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 Spatial learning and navigation depend on neural representations of location and direction within the environment. These representations, encoded by place cells and head direction cells, respectively, are dominantly controlled by visual cues, but ...

Encoding of Intention and Spatial Location in the Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
, 1995 The posterior parietal cortex is functionally situated between sensory cortex and motor cortex. The responses of cells in this area are difficult to classify as strictly sensory or motor, since many have both sensory- and movement-related activities, as ...

How the cerebellum may monitor sensory information for spatial representation
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 The cerebellum has already been shown to participate in the navigation function. We propose here that this structure is involved in maintaining a sense of direction and location during self-motion by monitoring sensory information and interacting with ...

Egocentric and allocentric representations in auditory cortex [PDF]
, 2017 A key function of the brain is to provide a stable representation of an object’s location in the world. In hearing, sound azimuth and elevation are encoded by neurons throughout the auditory system, and auditory cortex is necessary for sound localization.
