'Integration of head and visual motion for self-motion perception and spatial navigation' To successfully navigate the environment, animals rely on their ability to continuously track their heading direction and speed. In this talk, I will present our recent data on sensory computations that underlie head motion coding in the rodent brain. Focusing on the retrosplenial cortex, I will show how the integration of vestibular and visual cues can allow accurate estimation of head velocity during navigation. I will then discuss these data in the context of retrosplenial cortex connectivity and further present our ongoing work on building population-level analytical models to understand motion computations across cortical and subcortical regions.
