Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell–like representation in the entorhinal cortex

Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Louis Philippe Albert, Hyeongdong Park, Baptiste Gauthier, Hyukjun Moon, Corentin Marie Hervé Robert Tasu

Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space, integrating both environmental and multisensory bodily cues. Notably, body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self. While studies have demonstrated th ...

Physical Body Orientation Impacts Virtual Navigation Experience and Performance

Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Hsin-Ping Wu, Hyukjun Moon

Most human navigation studies in MRI rely on virtual navigation. However, the necessary supine position in MRI makes it fundamentally different from daily ecological navigation. Nonetheless, until now, no study has assessed whether differences in physical ...

Bodily self and human grid cell-like activity: probing spatial representation with immersive virtual reality

Hyukjun Moon

Grid cells are place-modulated neurons that encode the location of an agent in space, relying on the integration of various sensorimotor signals from the body. Of note, the integration of those signals is also fundamental for the agent's conscious experien ...

Brain structural and functional substrates of ADGRL3 (latrophilin 3) haplotype in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez

Previous studies have shown that the gene encoding the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L3 (ADGRL3; formerly latrophilin 3, LPHN3) is associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Conversely, no studies have investigated the anatomica ...

Tactile spatial discrimination on the torso using vibrotactile and force stimulation

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Masayuki Hara, Matteo Franza

There is a steadily growing number of mobile communication systems that provide spatially encoded tactile information to the humans’ torso. However, the increased use of such hands-off displays is currently not matched with or supported by systematic perce ...

Astrocytic release of ATP through type 2 inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor calcium signaling and social dominance behavior in mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Fiona Hollis, Eva Ramos Fernandez

Brain mitochondrial function is critical for numerous neuronal processes. We recently identified a link between brain energy and social dominance, where higher levels of mitochondrial function resulted in increased social competitive ability. The underlyin ...

Interactions of spatial strategies producing generalization gradient and blocking: A computational approach

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

We present a computational model of spatial navigation comprising different learning mechanisms in mammals, i.e., associative, cognitive mapping and parallel systems. This model is able to reproduce a large number of experimental results in different varia ...

CAR-Net: Clairvoyant Attentive Recurrent Network

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

We present an interpretable framework for path prediction that leverages dependencies between agents' behaviors and their spatial navigation environment. We exploit two sources of information: the past motion trajectory of the agent of interest and a wide ...

Not all anxious individuals get lost: trait anxiety and mental rotation ability interact to explain performance in map-based route learning in men

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, John Christian Thoresen, Rebecca Francelet

Navigation through an environment is a fundamental human activity. Although group differences in navigational ability are documented (e.g., gender), little is known about traits that predict these abilities. Apart from a well-established link between menta ...
