      • 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. 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.

  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. 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.

  8. We suggest that cognitive maps can be constructed from general patterns of abstract relations that are separated from sensory representations and therefore generalize across different sensory environments.
