Environmental boundaries, such as walls,define the geometry of the local environment. How do our brains extract this information …
Head direction cells in the mammalian limbic system are thought to function as an allocentric neuronal compass. Although traditional views hold that the compass of ground-dwelling species is planar, Angelaki et al. 2019 show that head-direction cells in the rodent …
