The current study used fMRI in humans to examine goal-directed navigation in an open field
environment. We designed a task that required participants to encode survey-level spatial …

Path integration, the updating of position and orientation during movement, often involves
tracking a home location. Here, we examine processes that could contribute to successful …

Events that overlap with previous experience may trigger reactivation of existing memories.
However, such reactivation may have different representational consequences within the …

Recent computational models suggest that visual input from optic flow provides information
about egocentric (navigator-centered) motion and influences firing patterns in spatially tuned …

Humans differ in their individual navigational abilities. These individual differences may exist
in part because successful navigation relies on several disparate abilities, which rely on …

Prominent theories posit that associative memory structures, known as cognitive maps,
support flexible generalization of knowledge across cognitive domains. Here, we evince a …

Path integration, the constant updating of the navigator's knowledge of position and orientation
during movement, requires both visuospatial knowledge and memory. This study aimed …

Many of our everyday actions are only appropriate in certain situations and selecting the
appropriate behavior requires that we use current context and previous experience to guide our …

The ability to update position and orientation to reach a goal is crucial to spatial navigation
and individuals vary considerably in this ability. The current structural MRI study used voxel-…
