Nature CommunicationsUnderstanding how group-level dynamics arise from individual interactions remains a core challenge in collective behavior research. Traditional models assume animals follow simple behavioral rules, like explicitly aligning with neighbors. We present here

Allocentric directional processing in the rodent and human retrosplenial cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Head direction cells in the rodent brain have been investigated for a number of years, providing us with a detailed understanding of how the rodent brain codes for allocentric direction.

Evidence of allocentric spatial learning in male rats with large lesions of the hippocampus. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe hippocampus (HPC) is the neural substrate of viewpoint-invariant cognitive maps, also known as allocentric spatial representations. Lesions of the HPC disrupt performance on allocentric tasks like the Morris Water Task (MWT), in which rodents must ...

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 While the widely studied allocentric spatial representation holds a special status in neuroscience research, its exact nature and neural underpinnings continue to be the topic of debate, particularly in humans.

The Impact of Vision Loss on Allocentric Spatial Coding
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Several works have demonstrated that visual experience plays a critical role in the development of allocentric spatial coding. Indeed, while children with a typical development start to code space by relying on allocentric landmarks from the first year ...

Cognitive load in switching between egocentric and allocentric spatial frames of reference: a pupillometry study [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEvery day we combine and switch between body-centered (egocentric) and object-centered (allocentric) spatial representations. Several studies so far have reported a greater difficulty to switch from an allocentric reference frame to an egocentric one ...

Daytime sleep enhances consolidation of the spatial but not motoric representation of motor sequence memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Motor sequence learning is known to rely on more than a single process. As the skill develops with practice, two different representations of the sequence are formed: a goal representation built under spatial allocentric coordinates and a movement ...

Navigating space and the developing mind [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIn this article, we review the extensive and complex fabric of literature concerning the ontogenesis of spatial representations from earliest childhood to the elderly, including normal and abnormal aging (dementia and Alzheimer’s disease).

Landmark-based spatial navigation across the human lifespan
eLife, 2023 Human spatial cognition has been mainly characterized in terms of egocentric (body-centered) and allocentric (world-centered) wayfinding behavior. It was hypothesized that allocentric spatial coding, as a special high-level cognitive ability, develops ...

The prognosis of allocentric and egocentric neglect : evidence from clinical scans [PDF]
, 2012 We contrasted the neuroanatomical substrates of sub-acute and chronic visuospatial deficits associated with different aspects of unilateral neglect using computed tomography scans acquired as part of routine clinical diagnosis.
