Entorhinal cortex
- The entorhinal cortex contains neuronal cells that provide a mental map of space. These neurons have been characterized during active exploration of an environment.

Sep 26, 2022 · In experiences where no previous cortical map is useful, hippocampal representations build a relational map; in familiar experiences where the cortex has learned how to structure experience (for...

Jul 18, 2024 · Humans construct internal cognitive maps of their environment directly from sensory inputs without access to a system of explicit coordinates or distance measurements.
The ‘cognitive map’ hypothesis proposes that brain builds a unified representation of the spatial environment to support memory and guide future action. Forty years of electrophysiological research in rodents suggests that cognitive maps are neurally instantiated by place, grid, border, and head direction cells in the hippocampal formation ...
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.
May 1, 2024 · How does the human brain construct cognitive maps for decision-making and inference? Here, we conduct an fMRI study on a navigation task in multidimensional abstract spaces.
It is proposed that a cognitive map encoding the relationships between entities in the world supports flexible behavior, but the majority of the neural evidence for such a system comes from studies of spatial navigation.

Oct 25, 2024 · Our results suggest that humans build multiple local planar maps to navigate in a complex environment by utilizing neural circuitry optimized for 2D navigation. This strategy might be useful for more general cognitive tasks beyond physical navigation.
