Spatial Cognition: Goal-Vector Cells in the Bat Hippocampus
A new study recording from the hippocampus of flying bats has revealed populations of neurons tuned to the egocentric direction of the goal, the distance to the goal or their conjunction during spatial navigation.
متن کاملSocial place-cells in the bat hippocampus.
Social animals have to know the spatial positions of conspecifics. However, it is unknown how the position of others is represented in the brain. We designed a spatial observational-learning task, in which an observer bat mimicked a demonstrator bat while we recorded hippocampal dorsal-CA1 neurons from the observer bat. A neuronal subpopulation represented the position of the other bat, in allo...
متن کاملSpatial Cognition and the Hippocampus: The Anterior-Posterior Axis
We discuss the question of differentiation along the anterior-posterior longitudinal axis of the hippocampus. Data from a recent fMRI study are reanalyzed to determine whether activations in these hippocampal regions are affected by the nature of the information being accessed during a scanning session in which participants thought about episodes from their lives. Retrieving detailed spatial re...
متن کاملSpatial view cells in the primate hippocampus.
Hippocampal function was analysed by making recordings in rhesus monkeys actively walking in the laboratory. In a sample of 352 cells recorded in the hippocampus and parahippocampal cortex, a population of 'spatial view' cells was found to respond when the monkey looked at a part of the environment. The responses of these hippocampal neurons (i) occur to a view of space 'out there', not to the ...
متن کاملAnterior hippocampus and goal-directed spatial decision making.
Planning spatial paths through our environment is an important part of everyday life and is supported by a neural system including the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Here we investigated the precise functional roles of the components of this system in humans by using fMRI as participants performed a simple goal-directed route-planning task. Participants had to choose the shorter of two rout...
