Explaining heterogeneity in medial entorhinal cortex with task-driven neural networks

Aran Nayebi, Alexander Attinger, Malcolm G. Campbell, Kiah Hardcastle, Isabel I. C. Low, Caitlin S. Mallory, Gabriel C. Mel, Ben Sorscher, Alex H. Williams, Surya Ganguli, Lisa Marie Giocomo, Daniel L. K. Yamins

This study uses task-driven neural networks to show that heterogeneous MEC cells are functionally significant and that reward-modulated models better capture MEC response profiles than traditional models.

Distinct algorithms for combining landmarks and path integration in medial entorhinal, visual andretrosplenial cortex

Malcolm G. Campbell, Alexander Attinger, Samuel A. Ocko, Surya Ganguli, Lisa Marie Giocomo

The paper shows that medial entorhinal cortex uses Kalman filtering to integrate path integration and landmarks, while visual cortex codes position retrospectively and retrosplenial cortex is intermediate.
