Learning and interpreting the structure of the environment is an innate feature of biological
systems, and is integral to guiding flexible behaviors for evolutionary viability. The concept of …

Finding one's way around an environment and remembering the events that occur within it
are crucial cognitive abilities that have been linked to the hippocampus and medial temporal …

Since the first place cell was recorded and the cognitive-map theory was subsequently
formulated, investigation of spatial representation in the hippocampal formation has evolved …

The hippocampal system is critical for storage and retrieval of declarative memories,
including memories for locations and events that take place at those locations. Spatial …

We report the existence of an entorhinal cell type that fires when an animal is close to the
borders of the proximal environment. The orientation-specific edge-apposing activity of …

The authors model the neural mechanisms underlying spatial cognition, integrating
neuronal systems and behavioral data, and address the relationships between long-term …

“Boundary vector cells” were predicted to exist by computational models of the
environmental inputs underlying the spatial firing patterns of hippocampal place cells (;;) …

The hippocampus and the medial entorhinal cortex are part of a brain system that maps self-
location during navigation in the proximal environment,. In this system, correlations between …

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 …

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 …
