Landmark-Based Updating of the Head Direction System by Retrosplenial Cortex: A Computational Model

Maintaining a sense of direction is fundamental to navigation, and is achieved in the brain by a network of head direction (HD) cells, which update their signal using stable environmental landmarks. How landmarks are detected and their stability determined is still unknown. Recently we reported a ne...
