A Comparison of Neural Decoding Methods and Population Coding Across Thalamo-Cortical Head Direction Cells

Head direction (HD) cells, which fire action potentials whenever an animal points its head in a particular direction, are thought to subserve the animal’s sense of spatial orientation. HD cells are found prominently in several thalamo-cortical regions including anterior thalamic nuclei, postsubiculu...
