Title
Simulation Of A Thalamocortical Circuit For Computing Directional Heading In The Rat
Abstract
Several regions of the rat brain contain neurons known as head-direc(cid:173) tion celis, which encode the animal's directional heading during spatial navigation. This paper presents a biophysical model of head-direction cell acti vity, which suggests that a thalamocortical circuit might com(cid:173) pute the rat's head direction by integrating the angular velocity of the head over time. The model was implemented using the neural simulator NEURON, and makes testable predictions about the structure and func(cid:173) tion of the rat head-direction circuit.
