DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24496
Abstract: Spatial representations are processed in the service of several different cognitive functions. The present study capitalizes on the Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) method of meta‐analysis to identify: (a) the shared neural activations among spatial functions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-020-01441-9
Abstract: We suggest that socio-spatial behavior, which is an interaction between social and spatial cognition, can be viewed as a set of excursions that originate and end in close proximity to another individual(s). We present an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-020-01446-4
Abstract: The feats of arthropods, and of the well-studied insects and crustaceans in particular, have fascinated scientists and laymen alike for centuries. Arthropods show a diverse repertoire of cognitive feats, of often unexpected sophistication. Despite their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.06.067
Abstract: The firing fields of mammalian grid cells, which map an animal's environment, lie on hexagonal lattices. Three new studies report significant field-to-field differences in the firing rates, a finding with far-reaching consequences for how grid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2022.105151
Abstract: A large body of research has been dedicated to understanding the factors that modulate spatial cognition and attributes of the hippocampus, a highly plastic brain region that underlies spatial processing abilities. Variation in gonadal hormones… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/nn.4652
Abstract: Synaptic integrative mechanisms have profound effects on electrical signaling in the brain that, although largely hidden from recording methods that observe the spiking activity of neurons, may be critical for the encoding, storage and retrieval… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41583-020-0336-9
Abstract: Several types of neurons involved in spatial navigation and memory encode the distance and direction (that is, the vector) between an agent and items in its environment. Such vectorial information provides a powerful basis for… read more here.
