Humans and animals use mental representations of the spatial structure of the world to
navigate. The classical view is that these representations take the form of Euclidean …

BACKGROUND Ever since Edward Tolman's proposal that comprehensive cognitive maps
underlie spatial navigation and, more generally, psychological functions, the question of …

The encoding of time and its binding to events are crucial for episodic memory, but how
these processes are carried out in hippocampal–entorhinal circuits is unclear. Here we …

During spatial navigation, neural activity in the hippocampus and the medial entorhinal
cortex (MEC) is correlated to navigational variables such as location,, head direction, speed …

Since the first place cell was recorded and the cognitive-map theory was subsequently
formulated, investigation of spatial representation in the hippocampal formation has evolved …

The hippocampus is famous for mapping locations in spatially organized environments, and
several recent studies have shown that hippocampal networks also map moments in …

It has been hypothesized that the brain organizes concepts into a mental map, allowing
conceptual relationships to be navigated in a manner similar to that of space. Grid cells use …

There is considerable research on the neurobiological mechanisms within the hippocampal
system that support spatial navigation. In this article I review the literature on navigational …

In recent years, the field has reached an impasse between models suggesting that the
hippocampus is fundamentally involved in spatial processing and models suggesting that …
