The discovery of place cells and head direction cells in the hippocampal formation of freely
foraging rodents has led to an emphasis of its role in encoding allocentric spatial …

Olfaction is arguably the least valued among our sensory systems, and its significance for
human behavior is often neglected. Spatial navigation represents no exception to the rule …

To derive meaningful navigation strategies, animals have to estimate their directional
headings in the environment. Accordingly, this function is achieved by the head direction …

Acute stress exerts substantial effects on episodic memory, which are often mediated by
glucocorticoids, the end-product of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Surprisingly little …

Repeated exposure to stress (chronic stress) can cause excess levels of circulating cortisol
and has detrimental influences on various cognitive functions including long-term memory …

Previous studies have shown that whip spiders (Amblypygi) can use a variety of cues to
navigate to and recognize a home refuge. The current study aimed to determine whether …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a test to assess visual function in
pigs using the visual psychophysics contrast sensitivity function. Methods: We utilized a …

The field of traditional mobile robot navigation has undergone a gradual transformation,
evolving into a standardized and procedural research domain. Through a fresh cognitive …

To navigate in an environment, human beings and animals visualize different pathways in
their brain to plan a suitable path; then, they move along the selected path to reach the …

Come funziona il cervello? Con quali meccanismi i neuroni ricevono i 14 segnali dal mondo
e li trasformano in sensazioni, ansie, emozioni, memorie, con un codice di comunicazione …
