Topic: rodent navigation

The study of rodent navigation has for decades focused on the hippocampal and parahippocampal regions, although recently part of this focus has shifted towards whether positional information can be identified in lower association cortices or even primary sensory areas. Spatial representation in these regions is often investigated using one-dimensional paradigms in combination with virtual reality. In the present work, we seek to understand how position is encoded in a more naturalistic, two-dimensional environment. Starting at the sensory level and moving up to higher association areas we aim
