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 …

The last decade has produced exciting new ideas about retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and its
role in integrating diverse inputs. Here, we review the diversity in forms of spatial and …

A schema refers to a structured body of prior knowledge that captures common patterns
across related experiences. Schemas have been studied separately in the realms of …

Navigation ability varies widely across humans. Prior studies have reported that being
younger and a male has an advantage for navigation ability. However, these studies have …

In 2019, the IEEE launched the P7000 standards projects intended to address ethical issues
in the design of autonomous and intelligent systems. This move came amidst a growing …

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

The retrosplenial cortex is reciprocally connected with multiple structures implicated in
spatial cognition, and damage to the region itself produces numerous spatial impairments …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) supports decision-making, goal tracking, and planning. Spatial
navigation is a behavior that taxes these cognitive processes, yet the role of the PFC in …

Much of our understanding of navigation comes from the study of individual species, often
with specific tasks tailored to those species. Here, we provide a novel experimental and …

Research on human navigation by psychologists and neuroscientists has come mainly from
a limited range of environments and participants inhabiting western countries. By contrast …
