Fig 1. Shows the model components.

(A) The visual cortex and other cortical areas provide an image stream with optic flow and visual features. (B) Processing in cortical areas provides input to the hippocampus and allows for a mapping between the sensed image stream and the representation of spatial location. (C) In our model entorhinal cortex has two modules generated by functionally different mechanisms, estimating location through optic flow for the moving feature system or through triangulation for the static feature system. In this diagram, we also included the anatomical projection from visual cortex to entorhinal cortex, which is currently not used in our model. Therefore, we show this projection as dashed line.
