The discovery of neuronal systems dedicated to computing spatial information, composed of
functionally distinct cell types such as place and grid cells, combined with an extensive body …

Understanding how sensory pathways transmit information under natural conditions remains
a major goal in neuroscience. The vestibular system plays a vital role in everyday life …

Many animals keep track of their angular heading over time while navigating through their
environment. However, a neural-circuit architecture for computing heading has not been …

Recent discoveries have emphasized the role of the vestibular system in cognitive
processes such as memory, spatial navigation and bodily self-consciousness. A precise …

Converging evidence suggests that each parahippocampal and hippocampal subregion
contributes uniquely to the encoding, consolidation and retrieval of declarative memories …

Elegant sensory structures in the inner ear have evolved to measure head motion. These
vestibular receptors consist of highly conserved semicircular canals and otolith organs …

Navigation first requires accurate perception of one's spatial orientation within the
environment, which consists of knowledge about location and directional heading. Cells …

In The Vestibular System: A Sixth Sense, leading experts present an integrative,
comprehensive and innovative look at the sense that Aristotle missed. The vestibular system …

During real-world (RW) exploration, rodent hippocampal activity shows robust spatial
selectivity, which is hypothesized to be governed largely by distal visual cues, although …

Spatial orientation and navigation rely on the acquisition of several types of sensory
information. This information is then transformed into a neural code for space in the …
