The mammalian hippocampal formation contains several distinct populations of neurons
involved in representing self-position and orientation. These neurons, which include place …

The symmetric, lattice-like spatial pattern of grid-cell activity is thought to provide a neuronal
global metric for space. This view is compatible with grid cells recorded in empty boxes but …

As animals navigate on a two-dimensional surface, neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex
(MEC) known as grid cells are activated when the animal passes through multiple locations …

It is thought that the brain's judicious reuse of previous computation underlies our ability to
plan flexibly, but also that inappropriate reuse gives rise to inflexibilities like habits and …

Documenting a mouse's “real world” behavior in the “small world” of a laboratory cage with
continuous video recordings offers insights into phenotypical expression of mouse …

Animals face the substantial challenge of navigating novel environments to find food,
shelter, or mates. In mammals, hexagonal grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex create a …

Highlights•Head Direction Cells form an attractor that stores head orientation and integrates
self-motion.•The neuronal substrate of the Head Direction attractor has been identified in …

We investigated how access to the vertical dimension influences the natural exploratory and
foraging behaviour of rats. Using high-accuracy three-dimensional tracking of position in two …

Retrosplenial area 29e, which was a cortical region described mostly in earlier rodent
literature, is often included in the dorsal presubiculum (PrSd) or postsubiculum (PoS) in …

Social spatial cognition refers to the interaction between self, place, and partners, with
emphasis on the impact of the social environment on spatial behavior and on how individual …
