Computational cross‐species views of the hippocampal formation

SL Zhu, KJ Lakshminarasimhan, DE Angelaki - Hippocampus, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The discovery of place cells and head direction cells in the hippocampal formation of freely
foraging rodents has led to an emphasis of its role in encoding allocentric spatial …

Cognitive, systems, and computational neurosciences of the self in motion

JP Noel, DE Angelaki - Annual review of psychology, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Navigating by path integration requires continuously estimating one's self-motion. This
estimate may be derived from visual velocity and/or vestibular acceleration signals …

Spatial modulation of hippocampal activity in freely moving macaques

D Mao, E Avila, B Caziot, J Laurens, JD Dickman… - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
The hippocampal formation is linked to spatial navigation, but there is little corroboration
from freely moving primates with concurrent monitoring of head and gaze stances. We …

[HTML][HTML] Shared and specialized coding across posterior cortical areas for dynamic navigation decisions

SY Tseng, SN Chettih, C Arlt, R Barroso-Luque… - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
Animals adaptively integrate sensation, planning, and action to navigate toward goal
locations in ever-changing environments, but the functional organization of cortex …

Dynamical latent state computation in the male macaque posterior parietal cortex

KJ Lakshminarasimhan, E Avila, X Pitkow… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Success in many real-world tasks depends on our ability to dynamically track hidden states
of the world. We hypothesized that neural populations estimate these states by processing …

Neural correlates of spatial navigation in primate hippocampus

D Mao - Neuroscience Bulletin, 2023 - Springer
The hippocampus has been extensively implicated in spatial navigation in rodents and more
recently in bats. Numerous studies have revealed that various kinds of spatial information …

Context-invariant beliefs are supported by dynamic reconfiguration of single unit functional connectivity in prefrontal cortex of male macaques

JP Noel, E Balzani, C Savin, DE Angelaki - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
Natural behaviors occur in closed action-perception loops and are supported by dynamic
and flexible beliefs abstracted away from our immediate sensory milieu. How this real-world …

Sensory evidence accumulation using optic flow in a naturalistic navigation task

P Alefantis, K Lakshminarasimhan, E Avila… - Journal of …, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
Sensory evidence accumulation is considered a hallmark of decision-making in noisy
environments. Integration of sensory inputs has been traditionally studied using passive …

Causal inference during closed-loop navigation: parsing of self-and object-motion

JP Noel, J Bill, H Ding, J Vastola… - … of the Royal …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A key computation in building adaptive internal models of the external world is to ascribe
sensory signals to their likely cause (s), a process of causal inference (CI). CI is well studied …

Making sense of the multiplicity and dynamics of navigational codes in the brain

DJN Maisson, A Wikenheiser, JPG Noel… - Journal of …, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
Since the discovery of conspicuously spatially tuned neurons in the hippocampal formation
over 50 years ago, characterizing which, where, and how neurons encode navigationally …
