Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by hallmark impairments in social
functioning. Nevertheless, nonsocial cognition, including hippocampus-dependent spatial …

It is proposed that a cognitive map encoding the relationships between entities in the world
supports flexible behavior, but the majority of the neural evidence for such a system comes …

Hippocampal neurons encode physical variables,,,,,–such as space or auditory frequency in
cognitive maps. In addition, functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in humans have …

Recently an influx of studies claims emergent cognitive abilities in large language models
(LLMs). Yet, most rely on anecdotes, overlook contamination of training sets, or lack …

The hippocampus is crucial for spatial navigation and episodic memory formation.
Hippocampal place cells exhibit spatially selective activity within an environment and have …

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 …

BACKGROUND Ever since Edward Tolman's proposal that comprehensive cognitive maps
underlie spatial navigation and, more generally, psychological functions, the question of …

The'cognitive map'hypothesis proposes that brain builds a unified representation of the
spatial environment to support memory and guide future action. Forty years of …

Increasing evidence suggests that mental health and physical health are linked by neural
systems that jointly regulate somatic physiology and high-level cognition. Key systems …
