Orienting in space requires the processing of visual spatial cues. The dominant hypothesis
about the brain structures mediating the coding of spatial cues stipulates the existence of a …

Previous studies suggest the importance of medial temporal lobe, areas of parietal cortex,
and retrosplenial cortex in human spatial navigation, though the exact role of these …

In many nonhuman species, neural computations of navigational information such as
position and orientation are not tied to a specific sensory modality [1, 2]. Rather, spatial …

The use of landmarks is central to many navigational strategies. Here we use multivoxel
pattern analysis of fMRI data to understand how landmarks are coded in the human brain …

The neural mechanisms underlying ground-level spatial navigation have been investigated,
but little is known about other kinds of spatial navigation. Functional magnetic resonance …

The ability to form spatial representations of object locations is an important component of
successful spatial navigation. Evidence from behavioral studies suggests that environmental …

Spatial navigation is believed to be guided in part by reference to an internal map of the
environment. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to test for a key aspect …

It has been proposed that spatial relations are encoded either categorically, such that the
relative positions of objects are defined in prepositional terms; or in terms of visual …

To successfully navigate, humans can use different cues from their surroundings. Learning
locations in an environment can be supported by parallel subsystems in the hippocampus …

It is generally accepted that spatial relationships and spatial information are critically
involved in the formation of cognitive maps. It remains unclear, however, which properties of …
