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

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 …

The precise functional role of the hippocampus remains a topic of much debate. The
dominant view is that the dorsal (or posterior) hippocampus is implicated in memory and …

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 …

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 …

Humans are remarkably adept at perceiving and understanding complex real-world scenes.
Uncovering the neural basis of this ability is an important goal of vision science …

How the brain computes accurate estimates of our self-motion relative to the world and our
orientation relative to gravity in order to ensure accurate perception and motor control is a …

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 division of cortical visual processing into distinct dorsal and ventral streams is a key
framework that has guided visual neuroscience. The characterization of the ventral stream …
