Impairment of human spatial orientation in the horizontal, but not the vertical plane, due to aging, cognitive decline, or chronic peripheral vestibular loss

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
IntroductionHumans and other vertebrates exhibit anisotropic orientation and navigation skills, with better performances in the horizontal compared to the vertical plane. While horizontal navigation accuracy decreases with higher age, less is known about

Lateral entorhinal cortex lesions impair both egocentric and allocentric object–place associations

Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 2020
During navigation, landmark processing is critical either for generating an allocentric-based cognitive map or in facilitating egocentric-based strategies.

Influence of Pre‐Service Teachers' Spatial Activity Interests Shape Spatial Anxiety, Perspective Taking, and Mistakes

European Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the pre‐service teachers' interest in spatial activities and whether their spatial anxieties were related to their spatial perspective‐taking abilities. Additionally, the study aimed to describe pre‐service teachers' mistakes in spatial perspective‐taking and the types of activities they were most interested in.

Explicit Attention to Allocentric Landmarks Improves Memory-Guided Reaching

, 2021
The presence of an allocentric landmark can have both explicit (instruction-dependent) and implicit influences on reaching performance However, it is not known how the instruction itself (to rely either on egocentric versus allocentric cues) influences ...

The oblique effect is both allocentric and egocentric

Journal of Vision, 2015
Despite continuous movements of the head, humans maintain a stable representation of the visual world, which seems to remain always upright. The mechanisms behind this stability are largely unknown. To gain some insight on how head tilt affects visual perception, we investigate whether a well-known orientation-dependent visual phenomenon, the oblique ...

Representationalism and the Spatial Representational Contents of Afterimage Experiences

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 238-248, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Experiences of afterimages have often been cited as counterexamples to representationalism about vision, that is, as counterexamples to the thesis that the phenomenal character of a visual experience is completely determined by its representational content. In this paper, I discuss a possible counterexample to representationalism that is based

Brain‐Mimetic Mapless Navigation Framework Integrating Visual Streams and Entorhinal‐Hippocampal‐Prefrontal Circuits

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1231-1253, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Efficient autonomous navigation in complex and unstructured environments without pre‐existing maps remains a significant challenge for mobile robotics. Drawing inspiration from rodent neural architectures, this study proposes a brain‐mimetic mapless navigation framework for mobile robots.

Evidence of allocentric spatial learning in male rats with large lesions of the hippocampus.

PLoS ONE
The 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 ...

Integration of egocentric and allocentric information during memory-guided reaching to images of a natural environment

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
When interacting with our environment we generally make use of egocentric and allocentric object information by coding object positions relative to the observer or relative to the environment, respectively.

Phenotypic Behavioural Effects of Genetic Deletion of the Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 3 in 5‐Hydroxytryptamine Neurons

Genes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 4, August 2026.
VGLUT3 in 5‐HT neurons is involved in some aspects of learning, here in association with learning for reward, although not anxiety‐like behaviour. ABSTRACT A major subpopulation of 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) neurons expresses the vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3) allowing the co‐release of glutamate.
