Cose, rappresentazioni, pratiche: uno sguardo sull’ontologia ibrida della Geografia
Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana, 2018 This article explores the ontology of geography. The main characteristic of this ontology is to be a hybrid, because the entities that inhabit it – that is things, representations and practices – are heterogeneous and irreducible to a common root.

Cortex, 1992 The first two experiments investigated whether the representations of words, besides being unitary, are also spatial in nature. Subjects were required to search for target letters in either five-letter words or five-letter nonwords. They were instructed to press the right-side key for one target and the left-side key for the other target.

Memory & Cognition, 2015 In the present study, we examined whether people can update a map-acquired spatial representation. The participants learned a spatial layout from a map displayed on a computer screen, and then performed spatial judgments at a novel position either in the same room (Exp. 1) or in a distal room (Exp. 2).

Single-neuron representations of spatial targets in humans
bioRxiv, 2019 The hippocampus and surrounding medial-temporal-lobe (MTL) structures are critical for both memory and spatial navigation, but we do not fully understand the neuronal representations used to support these behaviors. Much research has examined how the MTL
