The division of cortical visual processing into distinct dorsal and ventral streams is a key
framework that has guided visual neuroscience. The characterization of the ventral stream …

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 …

Modular and distributed coding theories of category selectivity along the human ventral
visual stream have long existed in tension. Here, we present a reconciling framework …

Medial temporal brain regions such as the hippocampal formation and parahippocampal
cortex have been generally implicated in navigation,,,,, and visual memory,,. However, the …

Is the human mind/brain composed of a set of highly specialized components, each carrying
out a specific aspect of human cognition, or is it more of a general-purpose device, in which …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

Hippocampal and parahippocampal gyrus spatial view neurons in primates respond to the
spatial location being looked at. The representation is allocentric, in that the responses are …

By utilizing new information from both clinical and experimental (lesion, electrophysiological,
and gene-activation) studies with animals, the anatomy underlying anterograde amnesia …

Several theories claim that dreaming is a random by-product of REM sleep physiology and
that it does not serve any natural function. Phenomenal dream content, however, is not as …

Spatial navigation is a core cognitive ability in humans and animals. Neuroimaging studies
