Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by hallmark impairments in social
functioning. Nevertheless, nonsocial cognition, including hippocampus-dependent spatial …

It is proposed that a cognitive map encoding the relationships between entities in the world
supports flexible behavior, but the majority of the neural evidence for such a system comes …

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'cognitive map'hypothesis proposes that brain builds a unified representation of the
spatial environment to support memory and guide future action. Forty years of …

A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

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 …

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 …

The discovery of neuronal systems dedicated to computing spatial information, composed of
functionally distinct cell types such as place and grid cells, combined with an extensive body …

We describe an integrative model that encodes associations between related concepts in
the human hippocampal formation, constituting the skeleton of episodic memories. The …
