Spatial Cognition
The understanding of spatial cognition in the mammalian brain has advanced to the point that we now have identified neuron populations that code for place, head direction, and distance (grid cells). We are also beginning to unravel how circuits involving the hippocampal operate as part of a wider system for situating and navigating the animal in the environment. At BCBT we have tracked the development of theories of spatial cognition as they have evolved alongside the rapidly expanding neuroscientific dataset. Speakers have included the 2014 Novel prize winner in Physiology and Medicine Edvard Moser on the discovery and properties of grid cells, David Redish on decision-making, habits and regret, and Kate Jeffery on three-dimensional spatial cognition in animals.
