Correcting a navigational error (VIDEO)

Harvard Medical School

Caption

The video on the left shows a mouse’s view as it navigates a T-shaped maze in virtual reality to find a reward. Near the end of the video, the mouse makes and corrects a navigational error. This correction causes a burst of activity in a subtype of neurons in the posterior parietal cortex, captured by the peak on the graph.
