Dissociating spatial strategies in animal research: Critical methodological review with focus on egocentric navigation and the hippocampus
2021, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :While it is our view that the evidence leans toward hippocampal involvement, these studies have very low sample sizes and very different methods, and thus do not offer any clear-cut conclusion. Furthermore, it should be appreciated that path integration, an egocentric process in nature, is a very complex behaviour and there have been many attempts to model it mathematically, though with limited success (Maurer and Séguinot, 1995). Notwithstanding being an egocentric process, it has been suggested to be the neural basis of the cognitive map (McNaughton et al., 2006), which by definition is allocentric.
A computational model of mapping in echolocating bats
2017, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :While, in robotics, (cognitive) maps are usually considered as the only reliable navigation mechanism, biologists have pointed out that cognitive maps are not necessary for reliable navigation (see Bennett, 1996; Cheung et al., 2014; Franz & Mallot, 2000; Trullier et al., 1997, for discussions and references). It has even been questioned whether humans are capable of building cognitive maps of complex environments (Maurer & Séguinot, 1995). As such, the ability of bats to remember flight routes and to return to roosting places based on echolocation (Barchi et al., 2013; Stones & Branick, 1969; Williams et al., 1966) cannot be taken as sufficient evidence of them having a cognitive map.
