A guide to area‐restricted search: a foundational foraging behaviour

A Dorfman, TT Hills, I Scharf - Biological Reviews, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Area‐restricted search is the capacity to change search effort adaptively in response to
resource encounters or expectations, from directional exploration (global, extensive search) …

The representation of space in the brain

RM Grieves, KJ Jeffery - Behavioural processes, 2017 - Elsevier
Animals can navigate vast distances and often display behaviours or activities that indicate a
detailed, internal spatial representation of their surrounding environment or a 'cognitive …

Vectorial representation of spatial goals in the hippocampus of bats

A Sarel, A Finkelstein, L Las, N Ulanovsky - Science, 2017 - science.org
To navigate, animals need to represent not only their own position and orientation, but also
the location of their goal. Neural representations of an animal's own position and orientation …

Representation of three-dimensional space in the hippocampus of flying bats

MM Yartsev, N Ulanovsky - Science, 2013 - science.org
Many animals, on air, water, or land, navigate in three-dimensional (3D) environments, yet it
remains unclear how brain circuits encode the animal's 3D position. We recorded single …

Spatial cognition in bats and rats: from sensory acquisition to multiscale maps and navigation

M Geva-Sagiv, L Las, Y Yovel… - Nature Reviews …, 2015 - nature.com
Spatial orientation and navigation rely on the acquisition of several types of sensory
information. This information is then transformed into a neural code for space in the …

Cognitive map–based navigation in wild bats revealed by a new high-throughput tracking system

S Toledo, D Shohami, I Schiffner, E Lourie, Y Orchan… - Science, 2020 - science.org
Seven decades of research on the “cognitive map,” the allocentric representation of space,
have yielded key neurobiological insights, yet field evidence from free-ranging wild animals …

A stable hippocampal code in freely flying bats

WA Liberti III, TA Schmid, A Forli, M Snyder… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Neural activity in the hippocampus is known to reflect how animals move through an
environment,. Although navigational behaviour may show considerable stability,,–, the …

EthoLoop: automated closed-loop neuroethology in naturalistic environments

A Nourizonoz, R Zimmermann, CLA Ho, S Pellat… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com

A neural heading estimate is compared with an internal goal to guide oriented navigation

J Green, V Vijayan, P Mussells Pires, A Adachi… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Goal-directed navigation is thought to rely on the activity of head-direction cells, but how this
activity guides moment-to-moment actions remains poorly understood. Here we characterize …

The ontogeny of a mammalian cognitive map in the real world

L Harten, A Katz, A Goldshtein, M Handel, Y Yovel - Science, 2020 - science.org
How animals navigate over large-scale environments remains a riddle. Specifically, it is
debated whether animals have cognitive maps. The hallmark of map-based navigation is the …
