Spatial modulation of hippocampal activity in freely moving macaques
Dun Mao,Eric Avila,Baptiste Caziot,Jean Laurens,J. David Dickman,Dora E. Angelaki +5 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that the macaque hippocampal formation represents three-dimensional (3D) space using a multiplexed code, with head orientation and eye movement properties being dominant during free exploration.

Visual and Vestibular Selectivity for Self-Motion in Macaque Posterior Parietal Area 7a.
Eric Avila,Kaushik J. Lakshminarasimhan,Gregory C. DeAngelis,Dora E. Angelaki,Dora E. Angelaki +4 more
TL;DR: A likely independent multimodal neural code for linear and angular self-motion in a posterior parietal area of the macaque brain that is connected to the hippocampal formation is described.

Spatial modulation of hippocampal activity in freely moving macaques
Dun Mao,Dun Mao,Eric Avila,Baptiste Caziot,Jean Laurens,J.D. Dickman,Dora E. Angelaki,Dora E. Angelaki,Dora E. Angelaki +8 more
TL;DR: This article found that the hippocampal formation represents three-dimensional space using a multiplexed code, with head orientation and eye movement properties dominating over simple place and grid coding during free exploration.
Sensory evidence accumulation using optic flow in a naturalistic navigation task
Alefantis P,Kaushik J. Lakshminarasimhan,Eric Avila,Xaq Pitkow,Xaq Pitkow,Dora E. Angelaki,Dora E. Angelaki +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed a sensory-based sequential decision task in virtual reality in which humans and monkeys navigated to a memorized location by integrating optic flow generated by their own joystick movements.
Tracking the mind’s eye: Primate gaze behavior during virtual visuomotor navigation reflects belief dynamics
Kaushik J. Lakshminarasimhan,Kaushik J. Lakshminarasimhan,Eric Avila,Erin Neyhart,Gregory C. DeAngelis,Xaq Pitkow,Xaq Pitkow,Dora E. Angelaki +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that gaze dynamics play a key role in action-selection during challenging visuomotor behaviours, and may possibly serve as a window into the subject’s dynamically evolving internal beliefs.
