Path integration system of insects: there and back again [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Navigation is an essential capability of animate organisms and robots. Among animate organisms of particular interest are insects because they are capable of a variety of navigation competencies solving challenging problems with limited resources ...

Acute stress impairs visual path integration. [PDF]

open access: yesNeurobiol Stress, 2023
Acute stress exerts substantial effects on episodic memory, which are often mediated by glucocorticoids, the end-product of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Size Matters: How Scaling Affects the Interaction between Grid and Border Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2017
Many hippocampal cell types are characterized by a progressive increase in scale along the dorsal-to-ventral axis, such as in the cases of head-direction, grid and place cells.

The universal path integral [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum Information Processing, 2015
Path integrals represent a powerful route to quantization: they calculate probabilities by summing over classical configurations of variables such as fields, assigning each configuration a phase equal to the action of that configuration. This paper defines a universal path integral, which sums over all computable structures. This path integral contains

The development of path integration: combining estimations of distance and heading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Efficient daily navigation is underpinned by path integration, the mechanism by which we use self-movement information to update our position in space.

Cognitive Mapping Based on Conjunctive Representations of Space and Movement

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2017
It is a challenge to build robust simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system in dynamical large-scale environments. Inspired by recent findings in the entorhinal–hippocampal neuronal circuits, we propose a cognitive mapping model that includes ...

Reliability of systems with randomly varying parameters by the path integration method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The paper considers a first passage time reliability problem for systems subjected to multiplicative and additive white noises. For numerical calculations of the reliability function and the first passage time the path integration method is properly ...

Combining symbolic cues with sensory input and prior experience in an iterative Bayesian framework

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012
Perception and action are the result of an integration of various sources of information, such as current sensory input, prior experience, or the context in which a stimulus occurs.

Different Types of Survey-Based Environmental Representations: Egocentric vs. Allocentric Cognitive Maps

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
The goal of the current study was to show the existence of distinct types of survey-based environmental representations, egocentric and allocentric, and provide experimental evidence that they are formed by different types of navigational strategies ...

Quantropy

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
There is a well-known analogy between statistical and quantum mechanics. In statistical mechanics, Boltzmann realized that the probability for a system in thermal equilibrium to occupy a given state is proportional to \(\exp(-E/kT)\), where \(E\) is the ...
