Natural neuroscience departs from the classical reductionist approach, which emphasizes control at the expense of natural behaviors, by proposing a shift tow...

@patrick_lachanc @zilong_ji @azvollan @EdvardMoser The data on alternating theta sweeps in the @azvollan paper builds on our earlier paper with @markbrandonLab showing that head direction cells in entorhinal cortex show spiking on alternating theta cycles:

@patrick_lachanc @zilong_ji @azvollan @EdvardMoser These important recent papers unify extensive previous work, including our 2012 paper proposing forward trajectory planning by entorhinal grid cells. Grid cells can scan paths through previously unvisited locations to find goals and avoid barriers:

A goal-directed navigation model is proposed based on forward linear look-ahead probe of trajectories in a network of head direction cells, grid cells, place cells and prefrontal cortex (PFC) cells....

Just published a commentary with @JennCRobinson & @patrick_lachanc about modeling by @zilong_ji of exciting data from @azvollan and @EdvardMoser. Proposes that alternating theta sweeps shown in entorhinal cortex can scan future paths to guide navigation.
