Specifically, these studies indicate that: (i) the human hippocampus and entorhinal cortex support map-like spatial codes; (ii) posterior brain regions such as parahippocampal and retrosplenial cortices provide critical inputs that allow cognitive maps to be anchored to fixed environmental landmarks; (iii) hippocampal and entorhinal spatial codes are used in conjunction with frontal lobe ...
Critical to Hasselmo’s particular version of cognitive map theory is the idea that the hippocampus and surrounding structures are a phase-coding mechanism, where the map-making activity of place and grid cells is integrated into maps of the environment at multiple spatial and temporal scales—that is, the hippocampus produces a series of cognitive maps, in Rescorla’s (2009) loose sense ...

Oct 24, 2018 · Notably, however, the same brain structures containing these cells play important roles in neural processes that relate to a broader view of a cognitive map, such as generalization, inference, imagination, social cognition, and memory (Hassabis et al., 2007, van der Meer et al., 2012, Ólafsdóttir et al., 2015, Tavares et al., 2015). It is therefore a challenge to understand how such cells ...

Jul 10, 2023 · In mammals, the activity of neurons in the entorhinal-hippocampal network is modulated by the animal's position and its movement through space. At multiple stages of this distributed circuit, distinct populations of neurons can represent a rich repertoire of navigation-related variables like the animal's location, the speed and direction of its movements, or the presence of borders ...
