This project investigates how the brain computes future positions for route planning in animals, focusing on the roles of the hippocampus and related brain structures. It aims to clarify how information about spatial relationships is processed and utilized during navigation.
Spatial navigation is a fundamental ability for animals to survive in a geometric space. A prominent feature of rats is their ability to create an internal metric space, or a map, in their brain.
While place cells in the hippocampus are considered key elements of the spatial representation system, the activity of these cells primarily depends on the animal’s instantaneous position; thus it is not clear how the brain computes an estimate of future positions, necessary for route planning.
