Differential recruitment of brain networks following route and cartographic map learning of spatial environments. [PDF]
, 2012 An extensive neuroimaging literature has helped characterize the brain regions involved in navigating a spatial environment. Far less is known, however, about the brain networks involved when learning a spatial layout from a cartographic map.

Spatial Metaphor Facilitates Word Learning
Child Development, 2020 Why are spatial metaphors, like the use of “high” to describe a musical pitch, so common? This study tested one hundred and fifty‐four 3‐ to 5‐year‐old English‐learning children on their ability to learn a novel adjective in the domain of space or pitch and to extend this adjective to the untrained dimension.

Desirable Difficulties in Spatial Learning: Testing Enhances Subsequent Learning of Spatial Information [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Previous work has shown that testing can enhance learning and retention of subsequently studied new information. The present study investigated this forward testing effect in spatial memory. In two experiments, participants studied four successively presented 3 3 arrays, each composed of the same nine objects.

eLife, 2016 Adult neurogenesis supports performance in many hippocampal dependent tasks. Considering the small number of adult-born neurons generated at any given time, it is surprising that this sparse population of cells can substantially influence behavior ...

Neuron, 2019 Diverse computations in the neocortex are aided by specialized GABAergic interneurons (INs), which selectively target other INs. However, much less is known about how these canonical disinhibitory circuit motifs contribute to network operations ...

Saccade learning with concurrent cortical and subcortical basal ganglia loops [PDF]
, 2013 The Basal Ganglia is a central structure involved in multiple cortical and subcortical loops. Some of these loops are believed to be responsible for saccade target selection.
