Description:

Head direction cells -- neurons that fire only when an animal orients its head in a certain direction -- are found in several different brain areas, with different neurons selective for different head orientations; they are influenced by landmarks as well as motor and vestibular information concerning how the head moves through space. These properties suggest that head direction cells play an important role in determining orientation in space and in navigation. Moreover, the prominence, strength, and clarity of head direction signals indicate their importance over the course of evolution and suggest that they can serve as a vital key for understanding brain function. This book presents the latest findings on head direction cells in a comprehensive treatment that will be a valuable reference for students and researchers in the cognitive sciences, neuroscience, computational science, and robotics.

The book begins by presenting head direction cell properties and an anatomical framework of the head direction system. It then looks at the types of sensory and motor information that control head direction cell firing, covering topics including the integration of diverse signals; the relationship between head direction cell activity and an animal's spatial behavior; and spatial and directional orientation in nonhuman primates and humans. The book concludes with a tutorial demonstrating the implementation of the continuous attractor network, a computational model of head direction cells, and an application of this approach for a navigational system for mobile robots.

Sidney I. Wiener is a Research Director at the CNRS Laboratoire de Physiologie de la Perception et de l'Action at the Collège de France in Paris.

Jeffrey S. Taube is Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and in the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth College.

描述：
頭部方向細胞是只有在動物將頭部定向於特定方向時才會發射的神經元，它們存在於多個不同的腦區，不同的神經元對不同的頭部方向具有選擇性；它們受到地標以及有關頭部在空間中移動的運動和前庭感覺信息的影響。這些特性表明頭部方向細胞在確定空間方向和導航中起著重要作用。此外，頭部方向信號的突出、強度和清晰度表明它們在進化過程中的重要性，並且表明它們可以作為理解腦功能的重要關鍵。本書以全面的方式介紹了頭部方向細胞的最新研究成果，將成為認知科學、神經科學、計算科學和機器人學領域的學生和研究人員的有價值的參考資料。

本書首先介紹了頭部方向細胞的特性和頭部方向系統的解剖框架。然後探討了控制頭部方向細胞發射的感覺和運動信息的類型，包括多種信號的整合；頭部方向細胞活動與動物空間行為之間的關係；以及非人類靈長類動物和人類的空間和方向定位。本書最後通過教程演示了連續吸引子網絡的實現，這是一種頭部方向細胞的計算模型，並且展示了將此方法應用於移動機器人的導航系統。

Sidney I. Wiener是法國巴黎法國學院CNRS感知和行動生理學實驗室的研究主任。

Jeffrey S. Taube是美國達特茅斯學院心理和腦科學系以及認知神經科學中心的教授。
