The mammalian brain is known to produce mental representations of the spatial environment, known as cognitive maps, that help humans and animals navigate their surroundings. A subpopulation of neurons ...

Neural networks have emerged as powerful tools for modelling the brain’s capacity to form internal representations of space and relational knowledge, often termed cognitive maps. In biological systems ...

The multi-level testing framework is designed across spatial relations, spatial scenes, and prompt engineering strategies, with standardized scripts ensuring normalization. Recently, the Journal of ...

Navigating space effectively is crucial for survival. Our species evolved a sophisticated spatial cognitive system for this purpose. In humans, systems of language and space emerged in tandem.

Octopuses are remarkably intelligent creatures, as was demonstrated by Inky the Octopus’s famous escape from the National Aquarium of New Zealand through a drainpipe back to sea in 2016. A new ...

Spatial biology is reshaping how researchers study cancer by revealing the architecture and complexity of tumors in extraordinary detail. Through techniques that combine protein- and gene-level ...

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

Think about the last time you arrived somewhere completely unfamiliar. The way you moved through that space, whether ...
