First, neurophysiological evidence for the learning of invariant representations in the inferior
temporal visual cortex is described. This includes object and face representations with …

The medial diencephalon, in particular the mammillary bodies and anterior thalamic nuclei,
has long been linked to memory and amnesia. The mammillary bodies provide a dense …

The hippocampus is thought to encode a" cognitive map," a structural organization of
knowledge about relationships in the world. Place cells, spatially selective hippocampal …

The hippocampal formation is linked to spatial navigation, but there is little corroboration
from freely moving primates with concurrent monitoring of head and gaze stances. We …

The dorsal hippocampus conveys various information associated with spatial navigation;
however, how the information is distributed to multiple downstream areas remains unknown …

It is widely held that the hippocampus provides a cognitive map in which event-related
information, such as an object, location, and their significance, is organized. However, how …

Flexible navigation relies on a cognitive map of space, thought to be implemented by
hippocampal place cells: neurons that exhibit location-specific firing. In connected …

Spatially firing" place cells" within the hippocampal CA1 region form internal maps of the
environment necessary for navigation and memory. In rodents, these neurons have been …

Spatial navigation is one of the fundamental cognitive functions central to survival in most
animals. Studies in humans investigating the neural foundations of spatial navigation …

The hippocampus and associated cholinergic inputs have important roles in spatial memory
in rodents. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are involved in the communication …
