Prior work has highlighted qualitative similarities between the neural instantiations of cognitive maps in rodents and memory-guided navigation in humans, suggesting a conservation of representational...

The following dataset was collected by Dr. J. Quinn Lee, Dr. Alexandra T. Keinath, and Erica Cianfarano in the laboratory of Dr. Mark P. Brandon. All methods and details are described in the original ...

Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

Once legal rights begin to fall, they fall for everyone.

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Human hippocampal CA3 networks use sparse and broad synaptic connectivity, and their recurrent synapses employ reliability, precision, and long integration times to enhance memory capacity. Thus, the ...

Mice generalize complex task structures by using neurons in the medial frontal cortex that encode progress to task goals and embed behavioural sequences.

The successor representation has emerged as a powerful model for understanding mammalian navigation and memory; explaining the spatial coding properties of hippocampal place cells and entorhinal grid ...

Organisms from mice to humans rely on cognitive maps instantiated by the hippocampal formation to flexibly and efficiently navigate the world. Traditional theories of cognitive mapping posit that thes...
