Spatial Memory Organized by Environmental Geometry
We investigated the simultaneous effects of different reference systems on spatial memory. Participants studied a configuration of objects surrounding them. During retrieval, they imagined themselves in the center of the object configuration facing a particular object, and then indicated the directions of other objects relative to this imagined heading. Besides strong effects of egocentric retr...
متن کاملGeometry of Spatial Memory Replay
Place cells in the rat hippocampus play a key role in creating the animal’s internal representation of the world. During active navigation, these cells spike only in discrete locations, together encoding a map of the environment. Electrophysiological recordings have shown that the animal can revisit this map mentally, during both sleep and awake states, reactivating the place cells that fired d...
متن کاملGeometry sensing by self-organized protein patterns.
In the living cell, proteins are able to organize space much larger than their dimensions. In return, changes of intracellular space can influence biochemical reactions, allowing cells to sense their size and shape. Despite the possibility to reconstitute protein self-organization with only a few purified components, we still lack knowledge of how geometrical boundaries affect spatiotemporal pr...
متن کامل9707—Computational Geometry 09.02.- 14.02.1997 organized by
The fifth Dagstuhl seminar on computational geometry was attended by 39 participants from 11 countries. The aim of this workshop was two-fold: Firstly, to provide a forum for discussions about the interplay between the theory and practice of geometric computing. In particular it gave a chance to hear about (and maybe influence) the nascent efforts of various groups to create libraries of geomet...
متن کاملEnvironmental Geometry Aligns the Hippocampal Map during Spatial Reorientation
When a navigator's internal sense of direction is disrupted, she must rely on external cues to regain her bearings, a process termed spatial reorientation. Extensive research has demonstrated that the geometric shape of the environment exerts powerful control over reorientation behavior, but the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not well understood. Whereas some the...
