Abstract

In order to successfully navigate through the environment, animals must accurately estimate the status of their motion with respect to the surrounding scene and objects. In this talk, I will present our recent work on how retrosplenial cortical (RSC) neurons combine vestibular and visual signals to reliably encode the direction and speed of head turns during passive motion and active navigation. I will discuss these data in the context of RSC long-range connectivity and further show our ongoing work on building population-level models of motion representation across cortical and subcortical networks.
