Retrosplenial cortex is a region within the posterior neocortical system, heavily
interconnected with an array of brain networks, both cortical and subcortical, that is …

Over the past four decades, research has revealed that cells in the hippocampal formation
provide an exquisitely detailed representation of an animal's current location and heading …

Deep neural networks have achieved impressive successes in fields ranging from object
recognition to complex games such as Go,. Navigation, however, remains a substantial …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

We investigated how landmarks influence the brain's computation of head direction and
found that in a bidirectionally symmetrical environment, some neurons in dysgranular …

Spatial navigation is a multisensory process involving integration of visual and body-based
cues. In rodents, head direction (HD) cells, which are most abundant in the thalamus …

Highlights•Visual and multimodal memory of locations could be stored in the mushroom
bodies.•Central complex provides aspatial reference frame for integration of directional …

ABSTRACT I have been incredibly fortunate to have worked in the field of hippocampal
spatial coding during three of its most exciting decades, the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s …

As babies rapidly acquire motor skills that give them increasingly independent and wide-
ranging access to the environment over the first two years of human life, they decrease their …

In the mammalian brain, allocentric representations support efficient self-location and
flexible navigation. A number of distinct populations of these spatial responses have been …
