The brain is composed of multiple memory systems that mediate distinct types of navigation.
The hippocampus is important for encoding and retrieving allocentric spatial cognitive maps …

It is known that the parahippocampal cortex is involved in object–place associations in
spatial learning, but it remains unknown whether activity within this region is modulated by …

Stress and stress hormones are known to influence the function of the hippocampus, a brain
structure critical for cognitive-map-based, allocentric spatial navigation. The caudate …

Rodents learn to navigate mazes using various strategies that are governed by specific
regions of the brain. The type of strategy used when learning to navigate a spatial …

The ability to anticipate and flexibly plan for the future is critical for achieving goal-directed
outcomes. Extant data suggest that neural and cognitive stress mechanisms may disrupt …

Dysfunctional memory processes are widely reported in anxiety disorders, but the
underlying neurocognitive mechanisms are unclear. Recent work shows that the impact of …

Anxiety disorders are characterized by maladaptive defensive responses to distal or
uncertain threats. Elucidating neural mechanisms of anxiety is essential to understand the …

Young healthy participants spontaneously use different strategies in a virtual radial maze, an
adaptation of a task typically used with rodents. Functional magnetic resonance imaging …

Anxiety comprises a suite of behaviors to deal with potential threat and is often modeled in
approach–avoidance conflict tasks. Collectively, these tests constitute a predominant …

Reminders of an aversive event adversely impact retrieval of hippocampus-dependent
memories and exacerbate stress-induced levels of anxiety. Interestingly, stress and anxiety …
