A Spatial Location Representation Method Incorporating Boundary Information

open access: yesApplied 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 ...

Network-centered homeostasis through inhibition maintains hippocampal spatial map and cortical circuit function

open access: yesCell 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 ...

Subcircuits of deep and superficial CA1 place cells support efficient spatial coding across heterogeneous environments

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
The hippocampus is thought to guide navigation by forming a cognitive map of space. However, the behavioral demands for such a map can vary depending on particular features of a given environment.

Optimal Population Codes for Space: Grid Cells Outperform Place Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Rodents use two distinct neuronal coordinate systems to estimate their position: place fields in the hippocampus and grid fields in the entorhinal cortex.

Impaired spatial memory codes in a mouse model of Rett syndrome

open access: yeseLife, 2018
The Mecp2+/- mouse model recapitulates many phenotypes of patients with Rett syndrome (RTT), including learning and memory deficits. It is unknown, however, how the disease state alters memory circuit functions in vivo in RTT mice.

Spatial navigation and multiscale representation by hippocampal place cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Hippocampal lesions are known to impair success in navigation tasks. While such tasks could be solved by memorizing complete paths from a starting location to the goal, animals still perform successfully when placed in a novel starting position.

Place, space and memory cells [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
SummarySelf-localization and navigation are critical functions for the survival of mobile animals. By processing sensory information such as landmarks and environmental features, as well as keeping track of the path they have taken, animals are able to remain oriented as they explore the world, learning what resources are where and planning how to ...

The Growing Evidence for the Importance of the Otoliths in Spatial Memory

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019
Many studies have demonstrated that vestibular sensory input is important for spatial learning and memory. However, it has been unclear what contributions the different parts of the vestibular system – the semi-circular canals and otoliths – make to ...

Neural activity in a hippocampus-like region of the teleost pallium is associated with active sensing and navigation

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Most vertebrates use active sensing strategies for perception, cognition and control of motor activity. These strategies include directed body/sensor movements or increases in discrete sensory sampling events. The weakly electric fish, Gymnotus sp., uses

Biomimetic SLAM Algorithm Based on Growing Self-Organizing Map

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
A Biomimetic SLAM Algorithm Based on Growing Self-Organizing Map (GSOM-BSLAM), inspired by spatial cognitive mechanism of mammalian hippocampus, is proposed to resolve uncertainty problems in location identification and lack of real-time performance in ...
