Evolution of spatial cognition: sex-specific patterns of spatial behavior predict hippocampal size.
In a study of two congeneric rodent species, sex differences in hippocampal size were predicted by sex-specific patterns of spatial cognition. Hippocampal size is known to correlate positively with maze performance in laboratory mouse strains and with selective pressure for spatial memory among passerine bird species. In polygamous vole species (Rodentia: Microtus), males range more widely than...
متن کاملInvestigating the Evolution of Spatial Structure Patterns of Migration in West-Azerbaijan Province
Migration and quality of redistribution of population across country is one of the main factors that planners take into account to control population and guide its movements to economic poles. Scientific recognition of migration phenomenon is important for managing and policy making in the country. These movements change migration pattern, in a way that along with increase in population and the...
متن کاملSpecific changes in hippocampal spatial codes predict spatial working memory performance.
This study examined the relationship between hippocampal place fields and spatial working memory. Place cells were recorded while rats solved a spatial working memory task in light and dark testing conditions. Rats made significantly more errors when tested in darkness, and although place fields changed in multiple ways in darkness, only changes in place field specificity predicted the degree o...
متن کاملSpatial Patterns of Poverty in Iran
Poverty can have spatial dimensions. While general figures might show the spatial pattern of poverty, there is a need for more detailed examination of this pattern. Relying on simple figures of spatial patterns and ranking regions based on them might be misleading. This paper tries to apply spatial analysis methodsm, namely spatial autoregressive models to find out the impacts of space on the h...
متن کاملSpatial Cognition, Spatial Perception
“Where am I? Where am I going? How do I get there?” These are the questions on the minds of Spatial Cognition, Spatial Perception’s authors. And since this reviewer has chosen to write his review on location in a remote and unfamiliar city while traveling for a conference, such questions are on my mind as well. As my enormous human prefrontal cortex and conveniently opposable thumbs allow me to...
