Rethinking retrosplenial cortex: perspectives and predictions

AS Alexander, R Place, MJ Starrett, ER Chrastil… - Neuron, 2023 - cell.com
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 …

Scene perception in the human brain

RA Epstein, CI Baker - Annual review of vision science, 2019 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Coding of navigational affordances in the human visual system

MF Bonner, RA Epstein - Proceedings of the National …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
A central component of spatial navigation is determining where one can and cannot go in
the immediate environment. We used fMRI to test the hypothesis that the human visual …

Three cortical scene systems and their development

DD Dilks, FS Kamps, AS Persichetti - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2022 - cell.com
Since the discovery of three scene-selective regions in the human brain, a central
assumption has been that all three regions directly support navigation. We propose instead …

Making sense of real-world scenes

GL Malcolm, IIA Groen, CI Baker - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
To interact with the world, we have to make sense of the continuous sensory input conveying
information about our environment. A recent surge of studies has investigated the processes …

The neurocognitive basis of spatial reorientation

JB Julian, AT Keinath, SA Marchette, RA Epstein - Current Biology, 2018 - cell.com
The ability to recover one's bearings when lost is a skill that is fundamental for spatial
navigation. We review the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie this ability, with …

The occipital place area is causally involved in representing environmental boundaries during navigation

JB Julian, J Ryan, RH Hamilton, RA Epstein - Current Biology, 2016 - cell.com
Thirty years of research suggests that environmental boundaries—eg, the walls of an
experimental chamber or room—exert powerful influence on navigational behavior, often to …

A common neural substrate for processing scenes and egomotion-compatible visual motion

V Sulpizio, G Galati, P Fattori, C Galletti… - Brain structure and …, 2020 - Springer
Neuroimaging studies have revealed two separate classes of category-selective regions
specialized in optic flow (egomotion-compatible) processing and in scene/place perception …

The occipital place area represents the local elements of scenes

FS Kamps, JB Julian, J Kubilius, N Kanwisher… - Neuroimage, 2016 - Elsevier
Neuroimaging studies have identified three scene-selective regions in human cortex:
parahippocampal place area (PPA), retrosplenial complex (RSC), and occipital place area …

Extrahippocampal contributions to spatial navigation in humans: A review of the neuroimaging evidence

O Baumann, JB Mattingley - Hippocampus, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Spatial navigation is a crucial everyday skill, which when impaired leads to a significant
decrease in quality of life. In humans, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has …
