Finally, our findings shed lights on neuronal mechanisms underlying fMRI adaptation and representational similarity effects (see supplemental for a simplified simulation).

We also found that cue-specific and cue-independent spatial representations were anatomically separable, indicating different populations of neural units for sensory information processing and memory storage, a hypothesis that requires further rigorous testing.

Furthermore, while cue-specific spatial representations were stimulus-driven, cue-independent ones overall reflected behavior.

Combined with our previous finding of adaptation-based cue-specific spatial representations in the same structure using the same dataset, our study demonstrates for the first time the coexistence of cue-specific and cue-independent spatial representations in RSC. www.eneuro.org/content/11/4...

Repetition Suppression Reveals Cue-Specific Spatial Representations for Landmarks and Self-Motion Cues in the Human Retrosplenial Cortex

The efficient use of various spatial cues within a setting is crucial for successful navigation. Two fundamental forms of spatial navigation, landmark-based and self-motion-based, engage distinct cogn...
