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 ...

Egocentric and Allocentric Representations in Auditory Cortex [PDF]
PLOS Biology, 2017 Abstract A key function of the brain is to provide a stable representation of an object’s location in the world. In hearing, sound azimuth and elevation are encoded by neurons throughout the auditory system and auditory cortex is necessary for sound localization.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2011 Neuropsychological evidence suggests that different brain areas may be involved in movements that are directed at visual targets (e.g. pointing or reaching), and movements that are based on allocentric visual information (e.g. drawing or copying).

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021 Individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) are at higher risk of incipient Alzheimer's disease (AD). Spatial navigation (SN) impairments in AD dementia and mild cognitive impairment patients have been well-documented; however, studies ...

Brain and Behavior, 2020 Introduction Spatial orientation relies mainly on two frameworks. The egocentric depends on our own position and point of view. The allocentric relies on remembering, recalling, and recognizing environmental stimuli called landmarks.

Brain Sciences, 2023 Various therapeutic approaches have been developed for neglect. Many studies have demonstrated the effect of digital therapeutics (DTx) on neglect. However, few studies have reported the effects of DTx on egocentric and allocentric neglect.

Scientific Reports, 2019 An object’s location can be represented either relative to an observer’s body effectors (egocentric reference frame) or relative to another external object (allocentric reference frame).

Allocentric directional processing in the rodent and human retrosplenial cortex
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.

Brain Sciences, 2021 A difficulty in encoding spatial information in an egocentric (i.e., body-to-object) and especially allocentric (i.e., object-to-object) manner, and impairments in executive function (EF) are typical in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and ...

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017 A growing body of evidence suggests that people with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) show compromised spatial abilities. In addition, there exists from the earliest stages of AD a specific impairment in “mental frame syncing,” which is the ability to ...
