The ability to represent the world accurately relies on simultaneous coarse and fine-grained
neural information coding, capturing both gist and detail of an experience. The longitudinal�…

The hippocampus is crucial for both spatial navigation and episodic memory, suggesting
that it provides a common function to both. Here we adapt a spatial paradigm, developed for�…

We discuss the question of differentiation along the anterior–posterior longitudinal axis of
the hippocampus. Data from a recent fMRI study are reanalyzed to determine whether�…

The hippocampal formation encodes maps of the physical environment [1–5]. A key question
in neuroscience is whether its spatial coding principles also provide a universal metric for�…

Background The hippocampus underpins our ability to navigate, to form and recollect
memories, and to imagine future experiences. How activity across millions of hippocampal�…

Spatial navigation is believed to be guided in part by reference to an internal map of the
environment. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to test for a key aspect�…

Finding one's way around an environment and remembering the events that occur within it
are crucial cognitive abilities that have been linked to the hippocampus and medial temporal�…

A recent proposal posits that humans might use the same neuronal machinery to support the
representation of both spatial and nonspatial information, organizing concepts and�…

The neural systems supporting scene-perception and spatial-memory systems of the human
brain are well-described. But how do these neural systems interact? Here, using fine�…

To guide spatial behavior, the brain must retrieve memories that are appropriately
associated with different navigational contexts. Contextual memory might be mediated by�…
