In this Review, we describe the singular success of attractor neural network models in
describing how the brain maintains persistent activity states for working memory, corrects …

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 …

Humans and animals use mental representations of the spatial structure of the world to
navigate. The classical view is that these representations take the form of Euclidean …

Fascinating phenomena such as landmark vector cells and splitter cells are frequently
discovered in the hippocampus. Without a unifying principle, each experiment seemingly …

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 mammalian hippocampus is important for normal memory function, particularly memory
for places and events. Place cells, neurons within the hippocampus that have spatial …

Virtual reality displays, such as head-mounted displays (HMD), afford us a superior spatial
awareness by leveraging our vestibular and proprioceptive senses, as compared to …

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 …

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 …

Cognitive maps are mental representations of spatial and conceptual relationships in an
environment, and are critical for flexible behavior. To form these abstract maps, the …
