Path integration of head direction: updating a packet of neural activity at the correct speed using axonal conduction delays.

The head direction cell system is capable of accurately updating its current representation of head direction in the absence of visual input. This is known as the path integration of head direction. An important question is how the head direction cell system learns to perform accurate path integrati...
