The activity patterns of grid cells form distinctively regular triangular lattices over the
explored spatial environment and are largely invariant to visual stimuli, animal movement …

Hippocampal circuits in the brain enable two distinct cognitive functions: construction of
spatial maps for navigation and storage of sequential episodic memories. This dual role of …

Compositionality is a central component of the human faculty for generalization and
flexibility. However, the computations involved are poorly understood, especially in terms of …

Hippocampal circuits in the brain enable two distinct cognitive functions: the construction of
spatial maps for navigation, and the storage of sequential episodic memories,,,–. Although …

How people plan is an active area of research in cognitive science, neuroscience, and
artificial intelligence. However, tasks traditionally used to study planning in the laboratory …

We consider the problem of recovering a latent graph where the observations at each node
are\emph {aliased}, and transitions are stochastic. Observations are gathered by an agent …

Optimal sequential decision-making requires considering a vast number of potential action
sequences, growing exponentially with every step into the future. The theoretical difficulty of …

0 Background Why study this question? Evolution, spanning the phylogenetic tree from
nematodes to fish, rodents, and primates, has consistently achieved what we have not yet …

Compositionality is an important and yet poorly understood feature of human cognition. In
this study, participants navigated mazes with hidden, compositional structure, which was …

We consider the problem of quickly recovering the structure of a latent graph by navigating
in it, when the agent can only perform stochastic actions and---crucially---different nodes …
