Theta frequency (4–8 Hz) fluctuations of the local field potential have long been implicated
in learning and memory. Human studies of episodic memory, however, have provided mixed …

The hippocampal formation is critically involved in learning and memory and contains a
large proportion of neurons encoding aspects of the organism's spatial surroundings. In the …

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is known to support episodic memory and spatial
navigation, raising the possibility that its true function is to form “cognitive maps” of any kind …

Behavioral phenoty** has been gaining prominence due to the increased use of
transgenic animal models of neurological disorders. Repeated testing in the same cohort of …

Studies in comparative neuroanatomy and of the fossil record demonstrate the influence of
socio-ecological niches on the morphology of the cerebral cortex, but have led to oftentimes …

Navigating by path integration requires continuously estimating one's self-motion. This
estimate may be derived from visual velocity and/or vestibular acceleration signals …

Effectively navigating a dynamic 3D world requires a comprehensive understanding of the
3D geometry and motion of surrounding objects and layouts. However, existing methods for …

Remembering the temporal order of a sequence of events is a task easily performed by
humans in everyday life, but the underlying neuronal mechanisms are unclear. This problem …

Spatial navigation involves multiple cognitive processes including multisensory integration,
visuospatial coding, memory, and decision-making. These functions are mediated by the …

Working memory (WM) can be improved after repeated training sessions paired with
noninvasive neurostimulation techniques. Previously, we reported that WM training paired …
