摘要
方向感是人类与动物进行空间导航的核心能力，以往缺少对其多模态信息整合认知过程及其神经机制的探讨。文献梳理发现，个体通过对视觉、前庭觉、本体觉等多模态信息的独立编码、最优整合以及与空间记忆的交互建立、维持和更新方向感，前庭-视觉通路中多类编码空间信息的细胞通过动态协作为此提供神经基础。未来研究应系统考察方向感的多模态信息动态整合机制；扩大信息整合范畴，探讨听、嗅、触觉对方向感的贡献，拓展其多模态信息整合模型；构建方向感的神经计算模型，为航空、驾驶等领域的导航和定向技术迭代提供参考；探讨个体对方向感的空间言语表述机制，优化人机导航协作的信息传递模式。
Abstract
The sense of direction is a core capacity enabling humans and animals to navigate through space. However, previous research has lacked systematic exploration of the cognitive processes and neural mechanisms underlying its multimodal information integration. A review of the literature reveals that individuals establish, maintain, and update their sense of direction through the independent encoding and optimal integration of multimodal inputsincluding visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive cuesas well as their interaction with spatial memory. At the neural level, various spatially tuned cells within the vestibularvisual pathway dynamically coordinate to provide the physiological basis for this function. Future research should expand the scope of information integration to investigate how auditory, olfactory, and tactile cues contribute to sense of direction, thereby advancing a more comprehensive multimodal integration model. It is also essential to develop computational neural models of directional processing to inform the next generation of navigation and orientation technologies in fields such as aviation and driving. Furthermore, exploring the mechanisms by which individuals verbally express their sense of direction may help optimize information transfer in humanmachine cooperative navigation systems.关键词
