Cognitive Maps: Distortions of the Hippocampal Space Map Define Neighborhoods
Abstract
In place of continuous overhead satellite views of an environment, the brain often relies on first-person experiences to estimate spatial relationships between locations. Using new methods, a recent study has found the spatial metric observed in hippocampal activity adapts to encode local environmental terrain.
