Navigation tasks involve the gradual selection and deployment of increasingly effective
searching procedures to reach targets. The brain mechanisms underlying such complex …

Much of our understanding of navigation comes from the study of individual species, often
with specific tasks tailored to those species. Here, we provide a novel experimental and …

Spatial navigation is a universal behavior that varies depending on goals, experience and
available sensory stimuli. Spatial navigational tasks are routinely used to study learning …

Spatial navigation is a complex cognitive process that involves neural computations in
distributed regions of the brain. Little is known about how cortical regions are coordinated …

Most behavioral learning in biology is trial and error, but how these learning processes are
influenced by individual brain systems is poorly understood. Here we show that ventral-to …

The dorsal striatum is involved in cue-based navigation strategies and in the development of
habits. It has been proposed that striatum-dependent cued navigation competes with …

Recent findings suggest that long-term spatial and contextual memories depend on the
retrosplenial cortex (RSC)[1–5]. RSC damage impairs navigation in humans and rodents [6 …

We investigated the neural bases of navigation based on spatial or sequential egocentric
representation during the completion of the starmaze, a complex goal-directed navigation …

Navigation can be accomplished through multiple decision-making strategies, using
different information-processing computations. A well-studied dichotomy in these decision …

Using a Matlab classification algorithm, we demonstrate that a highly salient distal cue array
is required for significantly increased likelihoods of spatial search strategy selection during …
