Rethinking retrosplenial cortex: perspectives and predictions
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 …

[HTML][HTML] London taxi drivers exploit neighbourhood boundaries for hierarchical route planning
Humans show an impressive ability to plan over complex situations and environments. A
classic approach to explaining such planning has been tree-search algorithms which search …

The format of the cognitive map depends on the structure of the environment.
Humans and animals form cognitive maps that allow them to navigate through large-scale
environments. Here we address a central unresolved question about these maps: whether …
