Journal ArticleDOI
What determines our navigational abilities
Thomas Wolbers,Mary Hegarty +1 more
TL;DR: Three interdependent domains that have been related to navigational abilities are considered: cognitive and perceptual factors, neural information processing and variability in brain microstructure, which converge into an emerging model of how different factors interact to produce individual patterns of navigational performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociable Retrosplenial and Hippocampal Contributions to Successful Formation of Survey Representations
Thomas Wolbers,Christian Büchel +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, during navigational learning, retrosplenial areas mainly serve to integrate egocentric spatial information with cues about self-motion, whereas the hippocampus is needed to incorporate new information into an emerging memory representation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampus activity differentiates good from poor learners of a novel lexicon.
Caterina Breitenstein,Andreas Jansen,Michael Deppe,Ann-Freya Foerster,Jens Sommer,Thomas Wolbers,Stefan Knecht +6 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the successful acquisition of a new lexicon depends on correlated amplitude changes between the left hippocampus and neocortical regions and learning-related hippocampus activity is a stable marker of individual differences in the ability to acquire and master vocabularies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Aging Navigational System.
TL;DR: This review discusses emerging evidence from rodents, non-human primates, and humans that demonstrates how cognitive aging affects the navigational computations supported by neuronal systems and the clinical potential of behavioral and neural markers of spatial navigation, with a particular emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential recruitment of the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, and the human motion complex during path integration in humans.
TL;DR: The present study provides the first evidence that visual path integration is related to the dynamic interplay of self-motion processing in hMT+, higher-level spatial processes in the hippocampus, and spatial working memory in medial prefrontal cortex.
