Topic: mutual coherence

Continuous attractor networks are believed to support various cognitive functions, from working memory to spatial representations, yet the neuronal dynamics and circuits supporting these dynamics in vivo remain unclear. One example of such networks is the head-direction (HD) circuit, a crucial signal for navigation. It is represented by HD cells, which each fire for a specific direction of the animal’s head, and is transmitted to the cortex by the anterodorsal nucleus (ADN) of the thalamus where a vast majority of neurons are modulated by HD. ADn HD cells maintain their mutual coordination dur
