Topic: contextual knowledge transfer

Mammals show a significant capacity for contextual knowledge transfer, applying acquired information to novel situations. Such generalization involves extracting common features from diverse experiences and utilizing them to make predictions in unfamiliar contexts. It remains unknown which brain areas are responsible for such abstractions. Neural representations in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) constitute a generalized map of the local space, but recent findings may suggest that the MEC possesses non-spatial dimensions suggesting a generalized network for learning state spaces irrespectiv
