Neural populations within macaque early vestibular pathways are adapted to encode natural self-motion

Information about self-motion is detected by the vestibular end organs but how neural populations represent natural self-motion stimuli is unclear. This study shows that, in macaques, neurons in early vestibular pathways are adapted to the statistics of natural self-motion stimuli at the population level.

#introduction
Hello #neuro peeps!

A bit late to the party but finally here and hoping to reconnect.

I'm currently a postdoctoral #neuroscientist at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) at #UCL and will soon open my lab at the Department of Physiology, Development & Neuroscience (PDN) at #Cambridge University. My primary research interest is the #neurobiology of #selfmotion and #navigation. I use cellular and systems approaches including #neurophysiology, #circuit dissection and #behaviour to understand how the mammalian #brain (mouse model) constructs the sense of self-motion and orientation from various incoming information, particularly #vision and the #vestibular sense.
