Neural circuits generate representations of the external world from multiple information streams. The navigation system provides an exceptional lens through which we may gain insights about how such computations are implemented. in medial temporal lobe construct a map-like representation space that supports navigation. This computation integrates sensory cues, and, addition, is thought to require cues related individual's movement environment. Here, identify self-motion signals, position and velocity head eyes, encoded by neurons key node circuitry mice, entorhinal cortex (MEC). these signals highly integrated with other individual neurons. Such could be used compute allocentric location landmarks visual internal space.
