The human hippocampus: cognitive maps or relational memory?
The hippocampus is widely accepted to play a pivotal role in memory. Two influential theories offer competing accounts of its fundamental operating mechanism. The cognitive map theory posits a special role in mapping large-scale space, whereas the relational theory argues it supports amodal relational processing. Here, we pit the two theories against each other using a novel paradigm in which t...
متن کاملCognitive maps and the hippocampus.
Following a familiar route and finding a novel route in a familiar environment depend on different cognitive processes and representations. A recent study by Hartley et al. begins to identity the neural basis of route following and wayfinding in humans. Their study also raises important questions about the functions of the hippocampus.
متن کاملCognitive maps beyond the hippocampus.
We present a conceptual framework for the role of the hippocampus and its afferent and efferent structures in rodent navigation. Our proposal is compatible with the behavioral, neurophysiological, anatomical, and neuropharmacological literature, and suggests a number of practical experiments that could support or refute it. We begin with a review of place cells and how the place code for an env...
متن کاملHippocampus: Mapping or memory?
The identification of 'place cells' in the hippocampus has suggested a special role for this brain structure in spatial mapping, but other studies have indicated a more general role in memory. New findings on place cells point the way towards a reconciliation of the mapping and memory views.
متن کاملA relational model of cognitive maps
A useful tool for causal reasoning is the language of cognitive maps developed by political scientists to analyse, predict and understand decisions. Although, this language is based on simple inference rules and its semantics is ad hoc, it has many attractive aspects and has been found useful in many applications: administrative sciences, game theory, information analysis, popular political dev...
