It is proposed that a cognitive map encoding the relationships between entities in the world
supports flexible behavior, but the majority of the neural evidence for such a system comes …

Viewpoints: how the hippocampus contributes to memory, navigation and cognition | Nature
Neuroscience Skip to main content Thank you for visiting nature.com. You are using a browser …

Modeling human cognition is challenging because there are infinitely many mechanisms
that can generate any given observation. Some researchers address this by constraining the …

This article describes a process theory based on active inference and belief propagation.
Starting from the premise that all neuronal processing (and action selection) can be …

This paper offers an active inference account of choice behaviour and learning. It focuses on
the distinction between goal-directed and habitual behaviour and how they contextualise …

We discuss how cybernetic principles of feedback control, used to explain sensorimotor
behavior, can be extended to provide a foundation for understanding cognition. In particular …

Search is a ubiquitous property of life. Although diverse domains have worked on search
problems largely in isolation, recent trends across disciplines indicate that the formal …

During the past few years, there has been a dramatic increase in research examining the
role of memory in imagination and future thinking. This work has revealed striking similarities …

The hippocampus and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) both have important roles in cognitive
processes such as learning, memory and decision making. Nevertheless, research on the …

Our understanding of chronic pain involves complex brain circuits that include sensory,
emotional, cognitive and interoceptive processing. The feed-forward interactions between …
