Vestibular control of entorhinal cortex activity in spatial navigation

Vestibular control of entorhinal cortex activity in spatial navigation

Navigation in rodents depends on both self-motion (idiothetic) and external (allothetic) information. Idiothetic information has a predominant role when allothetic information is absent or irrelevant. The vestibular system is a major source of idiothetic information in mammals. By integrating the s...
