Several types of neurons involved in spatial navigation and memory encode the distance
and direction (that is, the vector) between an agent and items in its environment. Such …

Over the past four decades, research has revealed that cells in the hippocampal formation
provide an exquisitely detailed representation of an animal's current location and heading …

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 …

Brain dynamics is at the basis of top performance accomplishment in sports. The search for
neural biomarkers of performance remains a challenge in movement science and sport …

This paper reviews the recent experimental finding that neurons in behaving rodents show
egocentric coding of the environment in a number of structures associated with the …

The classical notion of a 'language of thought'(LoT), advanced prominently by the
philosopher Jerry Fodor, is an influential position in cognitive science whereby the mental …

Mammals have evolved specialized brain systems to support efficient navigation within
diverse habitats and over varied distances, but while navigational strategies and sensory …

Spatial navigation requires landmark coding from two perspectives, relying on viewpoint-
invariant and self-referenced representations. The brain encodes information within each …

Thirty years of research suggests that environmental boundaries—eg, the walls of an
experimental chamber or room—exert powerful influence on navigational behavior, often to …

Spatially selective firing of place cells, grid cells, boundary vector/border cells and head
direction cells constitutes the basic building blocks of a canonical spatial navigation system …
