  "summary": "We present a network model that enables a navigating agent to shape the spatial and temporal structure of its paths through its environment. The model is inspired by the insect fan-shaped body. In it, a recurrent neural network receives an input that encodes an agent's velocity vector. Meanwhile, network activity determines the setpoint of a control loop that influences this velocity vector…",
