Virtual Orientation Overrides Physical Orientation to Define a Reference Frame in Spatial Updating

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Previous studies showed that people could use either an egocentric or allocentric reference frame in spatial updating with body-based cues (i.e., physical body movements), but the adopted reference frame was anchored by the physical egocentric front when

Spatial hyperschematia without spatial neglect after insulo-thalamic disconnection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Different spatial representations are not stored as a single multipurpose map in the brain. Right brain-damaged patients can show a distortion, a compression of peripersonal and extrapersonal space.

The Critical Role of Head Movements for Spatial Representation During Bumblebees Learning Flight

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
Bumblebees perform complex flight maneuvers around the barely visible entrance of their nest upon their first departures. During these flights bees learn visual information about the surroundings, possibly including its spatial layout.

The futuristic manifolds of REM sleep

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Since one of its first descriptions 70 years ago, rapid eye movement sleep has continually inspired and excited new generations of sleep researchers. Despite significant advancements in understanding its neurocircuitry, underlying mechanisms and microstates, many questions regarding its function, especially beyond the early neurodevelopment ...

Functional and Structural Architectures of Allocentric and Egocentric Spatial Coding in Aging: A Combined DTI and fMRI Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundAging disrupts the optimal balance between neural nodes underlying orienting and attention control functions. Previous studies have suggested that age-related changes in cognitive process are associated to the changes in the myelinated fiber ...

Olfactory structure and olfactory content

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
The philosophical literature on olfaction is characterized by diverging opinions on the spatiality of olfactory experiences. Some authors believe that olfactory experiences merely present entities as being “here”, but others postulate that such experiences present a rich array of spatial relations.

A Hippocampal–Parietal Network for Reference Frame Coordination

Journal of Neuroscience
Navigating space and forming memories based on spatial experience are crucial for survival, including storing memories in an allocentric (map-like) framework and conversion into egocentric (body-centered) action.

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.

Hippocampal Subfield Volumetry and Navigation in Congenital Blindness

Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The hippocampus is essential for efficient navigation. Although lack of visual experience from birth induces volumetric and structural modifications to the hippocampus, tactile and auditory navigation remain partially preserved in congenitally blind (CB) individuals.

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.
