How the mammalian brain achieves accurate tracking of head direction at different turning-velocities?

Arseny Finkelstein, Hervé Rouault, Sandro Romani, Nachum Ulanovsky. Dynamic control of cortical head-direction signal by angular velocity. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/730374

Abstract
The sense of direction requires accurate tracking of head direction at different turning-velocities, yet it remains unclear how

How to implement 6DoF state estimation on 3D manifold based on neural dynamics?

State estimation in high dimensional space is a big challenge problem. Commonly, we use Lie group to implement 6DoF state estimation in 3D space. However, how does the brain implement path integration in 3D space based on neural dynamics?

Low …
