🚕🧠🧭 Thrilled to share our new paper! Just as rodents use head direction cells to navigate mazes, humans rely on retrosplenial complex & superior parietal lobe to track heading in a VR city. Read more on how we use fMRI + naturalistic VR taxi game to discover a hidden "neural compass" in the brain!
Our new paper, “A neural compass in the human brain during naturalistic human navigation” is out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! First-author @zhenganglu.bsky.social led the charge, with Josh Julian and collaborator @gkaguirre.com.
