Spatial cognition and the avian hippocampus: Research in domestic chicks
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 In this review, we discuss the functional equivalence of the avian and mammalian hippocampus, based mostly on our own research in domestic chicks, which provide an important developmental model (most research on spatial cognition in other birds relies on

Place cells and place navigation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 The assumption that hippocampal place cells (PCs) form the neural substrate of cognitive maps can be experimentally tested by comparing the effect of experimental interventions on PC activity and place navigation. Conditions that interfere with place navigation (darkness, cholinergic blockade) but leave PC activity unaffected obviously ...

Hippocampus Maintains a Coherent Map Under Reward Feature–Landmark Cue Conflict
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 Animals predominantly use salient visual cues (landmarks) for efficient navigation. When the relative position of the visual cues is altered, the hippocampal population exhibits heterogeneous responses and constructs context-specific spatial maps ...

‘Fearful-place’ coding in the amygdala-hippocampal network
eLife, 2021 Animals seeking survival needs must be able to assess different locations of threats in their habitat. However, the neural integration of spatial and risk information essential for guiding goal-directed behavior remains poorly understood.

Rapid learning of predictive maps with STDP and theta phase precession
eLife, 2023 The predictive map hypothesis is a promising candidate principle for hippocampal function. A favoured formalisation of this hypothesis, called the successor representation, proposes that each place cell encodes the expected state occupancy of its target ...

Mechanisms for Cognitive Impairment in Epilepsy: Moving Beyond Seizures
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 There has been a major emphasis on defining the role of seizures in the causation of cognitive impairments like memory deficits in epilepsy. Here we focus on an alternative hypothesis behind these deficits, emphasizing the mechanisms of information ...

Place Cells, Grid Cells, and Memory [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015 The hippocampal system is critical for storage and retrieval of declarative memories, including memories for locations and events that take place at those locations. Spatial memories place high demands on capacity. Memories must be distinct to be recalled without interference and encoding must be fast.

A Spatial Location Representation Method Incorporating Boundary Information
Applied Sciences, 2023 In response to problems concerning the low autonomous localization accuracy of mobile robots in unknown environments and large cumulative errors due to long time running, a spatial location representation method incorporating boundary information (SLRB ...

Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Despite ongoing experiential change, neural activity maintains remarkable stability. Although this is thought to be mediated by homeostatic plasticity, what aspect of neural activity is conserved and how the flexibility necessary for learning ...

Optimal Population Codes for Space: Grid Cells Outperform Place Cells [PDF]
, 2012 Rodents use two distinct neuronal coordinate systems to estimate their position: place fields in the hippocampus and grid fields in the entorhinal cortex.
