      • Sensory information about the environment supports the emergence of a world-centered (allocentric) cognitive map in the hippocampal formation, which includes the hippocampus (HP) and entorhinal cortices (EC).

  2. Oct 22, 2024 · A cognitive map of a given environment allows an agent (e.g., rodent, human) to navigate the space. To support the construction of these maps, the brain uses different structures. Two of the most prominent players are the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, each serving a slightly different function.

  3. The ‘cognitive map’ hypothesis proposes that brain builds a unified representation of the spatial environment to support memory and guide future action.

  4. Jul 10, 2023 · Working together, spatially tuned neurons give rise to an internal representation of space, a cognitive map that supports an animal's ability to navigate the world and to encode and consolidate memories from experience.

  5. Sep 2, 2021 · Single neurons in the primate hippocampus encode “paths” through a purely abstract value space similar to how place cells in rodents encode paths through physical space. Such cognitive maps provide a mechanism by which knowledge of relationships can guide decisions.

  6. A common way to conceptualize memory structures in the cognitive sciences is as a cognitive map. Cognitive maps, in the most literal sense, are mental representations that are structured in a way that reflects the features of real space and which aid in navigation.

  7. Nov 11, 2021 · Brain circuits are thought to form a “cognitive map” to process and store statistical relationships in the environment. A cognitive map is commonly defined as a mental representation that describes environmental states (i.e., variables or events) and the relationship between these states.
