Maneuvering safely through the environment is central to survival of almost all species. The
ability to do this depends on learning and remembering locations. This capacity is encoded …

Aging affects many aspects of everyday living, such as autonomy, security and quality of life.
Among all, spatial memory and spatial navigation show a gradual but noticeable decline, as …

Successful behavior requires actively acquiring and representing information about the
environment and people, and manipulating and using those acquired representations …

The dentate gyrus (DG), in addition to its role in learning and memory, is increasingly
implicated in the pathophysiology of anxiety disorders. Here, we show that, dependent on …

Specifically, the associations between rewarding properties of drugs of abuse and the drug …

An event memory is a mental construction of a scene recalled as a single occurrence. It
therefore requires the hippocampus and ventral visual stream needed for all scene …

The hippocampus plays key roles in cognition and affect and serves as a model system for

Dietary habits such as caloric restriction or nutrients that mimic these effects may exert
beneficial effects on brain aging. The plant-derived polyphenol resveratrol has been shown …

Adult-born granule cells (GCs), a minor population of cells in the hippocampal dentate
gyrus, are highly active during the first few weeks after functional integration into the …

This paper introduces an active inference formulation of planning and navigation. It
illustrates how the exploitation–exploration dilemma is dissolved by acting to minimise …
