A schema refers to a structured body of prior knowledge that captures common patterns
across related experiences. Schemas have been studied separately in the realms of …

The last decade has produced exciting new ideas about retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and its
role in integrating diverse inputs. Here, we review the diversity in forms of spatial and …

Early cognitive neuroscientific research revealed that the hippocampus is crucial for spatial
navigation in rodents, and for autobiographical episodic memory in humans. Researchers …

The hippocampus has been extensively implicated in spatial navigation in rodents and more
recently in bats. Numerous studies have revealed that various kinds of spatial information …

Humans show an impressive ability to plan over complex situations and environments. A
classic approach to explaining such planning has been tree-search algorithms which search …

Recollection of real-world events is often accompanied by a sense of being in the place
where the event transpired. Convergent evidence suggests the hippocampus plays a key …

Scene perception allows humans to extract information from their environment and plan
navigation efficiently. The automatic extraction of potential paths in a scene, also referred to …

Humans and animals form cognitive maps that allow them to navigate through large-scale
environments. Here we address a central unresolved question about these maps: whether …

The hippocampus is known to support processing of precise spatial information in recently
learned environments. It is less clear, but crucial for theories of systems consolidation, to …

Prominent theories posit that associative memory structures, known as cognitive maps,
support flexible generalization of knowledge across cognitive domains. Here, we evince a …
