Spatial Memory in Insect Navigation [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 A wide variety of insects use spatial memories in behaviours like holding a position in air or flowing water, in returning to a place of safety, and in foraging. The Hymenoptera, in particular, have evolved life-histories requiring reliable spatial memories to support the task of provisioning their young.

Perceptual modalities guiding bat flight in a native habitat [PDF]
, 2018 Flying animals accomplish high-speed navigation through fields of obstacles using a suite of sensory modalities that blend spatial memory with input from vision, tactile sensing, and, in the case of most bats and some other animals, echolocation ...

Estimating water storage changes and sink terms in Volta Basin from satellite missions
Water Science and Engineering, 2014 The insufficiency of distributed in situ hydrological measurements is a major challenge for hydrological studies in many regions of the world. Satellite missions such as the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and the Tropical Rainfall ...

Spatial encoding in primate hippocampus during free navigation. [PDF]
, 2019 The hippocampus comprises two neural signals-place cells and θ oscillations-that contribute to facets of spatial navigation. Although their complementary relationship has been well established in rodents, their respective contributions in the primate ...

Modified Navigation Instructions for Spatial Navigation Assistance Systems Lead to Incidental Spatial Learning [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Spatial cognitive skills deteriorate with the increasing use of automated GPS navigation and a general decrease in the ability to orient in space might have further impact on independence, autonomy, and quality of life. In the present study we investigate whether modified navigation instructions support incidental spatial knowledge acquisition.

Indoor Scene Intelligent Identification System Based on Spatial Topological Relationship Constraints [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesIndoor scene identification can provide prior environmental information for indoor positioning applications, achieving positioning enhancement. Due to the similarity of wireless signals in adjacent spaces, it can lead to incorrect identification in ...

Hippocampus and retrosplenial cortex combine path integration signals for successful navigation [PDF]
, 2013 The current study used fMRI in humans to examine goal-directed navigation in an open field environment. We designed a task that required participants to encode survey-level spatial information and subsequently navigate to a goal location in either first ...

How does navigation system behavior influence human behavior?
Cognitive Research, 2019 Navigation systems are ubiquitous tools to assist wayfinders of the mobile information society with various navigational tasks. Whenever such systems assist with self-localization and path planning, they reduce human effort for navigating.

Grey matter volume correlates with virtual water maze task performance in boys with androgen excess [PDF]
, 2011 Major questions remain about the specific role of testosterone in human spatial navigation. We tested 10 boys (mean age 11.65 years) with an extremely rare disorder of androgen excess (Familial Male Precocious Puberty, FMPP) and 40 healthy boys (mean age
