Navigation and memory are vital for survival, with organisms relying on landmarks and objects for orientation and foraging. The hippocampal formation constructs a spatial cognitive map using spatial cells like Place, Grid, and Head Direction cells. Sensory processing guides this map's construction, with the Medial Entorhinal Cortex (MEC) encoding self-motion cues (Path Integration) analogous to the 'where' pathway, while the Lateral Entorhinal Cortex (LEC) integrates sensory inputs analogous to the 'what' pathway. Object-dependent spatial cells, including Object Vector cells, Object Sensitive
