Allocentric Spatial Memory Performance in a Virtual Reality-Based Task is Conditioned by Visuospatial Working Memory Capacity

Brain Sciences, 2020
Traditionally, the medial temporal lobe has been considered a key brain region for spatial memory. Nevertheless, executive functions, such as working memory, also play an important role in complex behaviors, such as spatial navigation.

Great tits who remember more accurately have difficulty forgetting, but variation is not driven by environmental harshness

Scientific Reports, 2021
The causes of individual variation in memory are poorly understood in wild animals. Harsh environments with sparse or rapidly changing food resources are hypothesized to favour more accurate spatial memory to allow animals to return to previously visited

Spatial memory for vertical locations. [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Most studies on spatial memory refer to the horizontal plane, leaving an open question as to whether findings generalize to vertical spaces where gravity and the visual upright of our surrounding space are salient orientation cues. In three experiments, we examined which reference frame is used to organize memory for vertical locations: the one based ...

Supramammillary nucleus synchronizes with dentate gyrus to regulate spatial memory retrieval through glutamate release

eLife, 2020
The supramammillary nucleus (SuM) provides substantial innervation to the dentate gyrus (DG). It remains unknown how the SuM and DG coordinate their activities at the circuit level to regulate spatial memory.

Strategy-Specific Patterns of Arc Expression in the Retrosplenial Cortex and Hippocampus during T-Maze Learning in Rats

Brain Sciences, 2020
The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) belongs to the spatial memory circuit, but the precise timeline of its involvement and the relation to hippocampal activation have not been sufficiently described.

Evaluation of Spatial Memory in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome [PDF]

Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i Īrān, 2020
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. This syndrome may affect cognitive function and impair spatial memory.

Spatial memories in insects [PDF]

Current Biology, 2009
SummaryMemories enhance the efficiency with which animals can exploit their resources. They make it easier for an animal to return to places and things that are useful, and to avoid those that may be dangerous or costly. Spatial memories — those that encode relationships between features in an environment or an individual's path through the environment

Social context alters spatial memory performance in free-living male prairie voles [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Spatial memory is crucial for mating success because it enables males to locate potential mates and potential competitors in space. Intraspecific competition and its varying intensity under certain conditions are potentially important for shaping spatial

Mathematics Students Demonstrate Superior Visuo-Spatial Working Memory to Humanities Students Under Conditions of Low Central Executive Processing Load

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2019
Previous research has demonstrated that working memory performance is linked to mathematics achievement. Most previous studies have involved children and arithmetic rather than more advanced forms of mathematics.
