Article Synopsis
- The primate posterior parietal cortex (PPC) processes visual space for navigation, while the hippocampus (HPC) creates a memory-based map of the environment.
- A study of macaques navigating a virtual maze revealed that neurons in both PPC and HPC showed spatial selectivity, indicating a link between visual cues and self-positioning.
- Key neuron populations, responsive to saccades and fixations, contributed to navigation tasks, and both regions even anticipated landmarks before they became visible, suggesting a shared understanding of spatial layout.
