In 2007, Cheng and colleagues published their influential review wherein they analyzed the
literature on spatial cue interaction during navigation through a Bayesian lens, and …

Spatial navigation is a complex cognitive activity that depends on perception, action,
memory, reasoning, and problem-solving. Effective navigation depends on the ability to …

Boundaries to movement form a specific class of landmark information used for navigation:
Boundary Vector Cells (BVCs) are neurons which encode an animal's location as a vector …

Environmental boundaries anchor cognitive maps that support memory. However,
trapezoidal boundary geometry distorts the regular firing patterns of entorhinal grid cells …

Over the past two decades, much research has been conducted to investigate whether
humans are optimal when integrating sensory cues during spatial memory and navigational …

Mobile organisms make use of spatial cues to navigate effectively in the world, such as
visual and self-motion cues. Over the past decade, researchers have investigated how …

Simple Summary Animals inhabit species-specific ecological environments and acquire
knowledge about the surrounding space to adaptively behave and move within it. Spatial …

Unlike children's early ability to navigate by continuous boundaries, their ability to extract
geometric information from an array of objects emerges gradually over childhood. To …

A visuocentric bias has dominated the literature on spatial navigation and reorientation.
Studies on visually accessed environments indicate that, during reorientation, human and …

Large walls and other typical boundaries strongly influence neural activity related to
navigation and the representations of spatial layouts. They are also major aids to reliable …
