Circuitry and Mathematical Codes for Navigation in the Brain

Simons Institute via YouTube

Overview

Explore the fascinating world of animal navigation and brain circuitry in this Simons Institute Open Lecture. Delve into computational problems, various types of cells involved in spatial representation, and population codes. Examine Hecker action cells, place cells, border cells, and grid cells to understand how the brain processes spatial information. Investigate two key questions surrounding spatial representations in the brain and gain insights into the mathematical codes underlying navigation in both human and nonhuman animals.
