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 …

The mammalian hippocampal formation contains several distinct populations of neurons
involved in representing self-position and orientation. These neurons, which include place …

The ability to find one's way in our complex environments represents one of the most
fundamental cognitive functions. Although involving basic perceptual and memory related …

Working memory (WM) enables temporary storage and manipulation of information, 1

Although several previous studies have demonstrated navigational deficits in early-stage
symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD), navigational abilities in preclinical AD have not been …

Spatial navigation is a fascinating behavior that is essential for our everyday lives. It involves

We would like to thank our families for their patience and understanding as we took time off
to work on this book. We dedicate this book to Dr. Howard Eichenbaum, a leader in the field …

Spatial navigation is a multisensory process involving integration of visual and body-based
cues. In rodents, head direction (HD) cells, which are most abundant in the thalamus …

Previous evidence indicates that the brain stores memory in two complementary systems,
allowing both rapid plasticity and stable representations at different sites. For memory to be …

As we move around, relevant information that disappears from sight can still be held in
working memory to serve upcoming behaviour. How we maintain and select visual …
