Abstract Space is continuous. But the communities of researchers that study the cognitive
map in non-humans are strangely divided, with debate over its existence found among …

Path integration is a straightforward concept with varied connotations that are important to
different disciplines concerned with navigation, such as ethology, cognitive science, robotics …

Animals navigate using cues generated by their own movements (self-movement cues or
idiothetic cues), as well as the cues they encounter in their environment (distal cues or …

Mammals have evolved specialized brain systems to support efficient navigation within
diverse habitats and over varied distances, but while navigational strategies and sensory …

Animals move in their daily lives in search for food, to avoid predators, to find mates, and to
transport themselves between areas of importance for their survival. To enable energy …

Given that all interactions between an animal and its environment are mediated by
movement, questions of how animals inherit, refine and execute trajectories through space …

We present a conceptual framework for the role of the hippocampus and its afferent and
efferent structures in rodent navigation. Our proposal is compatible with the behavioral …

Spatial navigation has received much attention from neuroscientists, leading to the
identification of key brain areas and the discovery of numerous spatially selective cells …

Navigation is an inherently dynamic and multimodal process, making isolation of the unique
cognitive components underlying it challenging. The assumptions of much of the literature …

The discovery of place cells and head direction cells in the hippocampal formation of freely
foraging rodents has led to an emphasis of its role in encoding allocentric spatial …
