Journal ArticleDOI

Is there a pilot in the brain? Contribution of the self-positioning system to spatial navigation

TL;DR: This review focuses on the issue of how self-localization is performed in the hippocampal place cell map and hypothesizes that sequential reactivation of place cells could participate in the resetting of self- localization under specific circumstances and in learning a new environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

L'hippocampe et le code neural de la memoire spatiale

TL;DR: In this paper, several recently discovered features of place cell activity shed light on how the hippocampus contributes to memory construction, including head direction cells, post-subiculum, and grid cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Navigation using global or local reference frames in rats with medial and lateral entorhinal cortex lesions

TL;DR: In this article, the medial and lateral regions of the entorhinal cortex were found to play a major role in combining spatial and non-spatial attributes of episodic memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Medial entorhinal cortex lesions induce degradation of CA1 place cell firing stability when self-motion information is used.

TL;DR: A major role of the medial entorhinal cortex in processing self-motion cues is supported, with this information being conveyed to the hippocampus to help anchor and maintain a stable spatial representation during movement.
