Topographical disorientation is linked to lesions in the right hemisphere and typically resolves within a few months post-stroke. Persistent topographical disorientation is uncommon and frequently accompanied by impairments in visual memory, complicating the analysis of the underlying mechanisms. Herein, we report two cases of sustained pure topographical disorientation following cerebral hemorrhages in the left retrosplenial region.

All of these symptoms were attributed to damage to the bilateral occipito-temporal cortices, consistent with ventral variant PCA. While the Pittsburgh compound B uptake was extensively distributed throughout the occipito-parietal (dorsal) and occipito-temporal (ventral) areas, the THK5351 (ligand binding to tau aggregates/astrocyte gliosis) accumulation was limited to the ventral area.

Mental rotation (MR) is a well-established experimental paradigm for exploring human spatial ability. Although MR tasks are assumed to be involved in several cognitive processes, it remains unclear which cognitive processes are related to the individual ability of motor adaptation. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between the response time (RT) of MR using body parts and the adaptive motor learning capability of gait.

The geometric information of space, such as environment boundaries, is represented heterogeneously across brain regions. The computational mechanisms of encoding the spatial layout of environments remain to be determined. Here, we postulate a conjunctive encoding theory to illustrate the construct of cognitive maps from geometric perception.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that is able to generate causal-based interferences between brain networks and cognitive or behavioral responses. It has been used to improve cognition in several disease models. However, although its exploration in healthy animals is essential to attribute its pure effect in learning and memory processes, studies in this regard are scarce.
