This book examines some of the neural substrates and mechanisms that s upport these remarkable abilities. The hippocampus and the parietal co rtex have been implicated in various core spatial behaviours, such as the ability to localise an object and navigate to it. Damage to these areas in humans and animals leads to impairment of these spatial funct ions. This collection of papers, written by internationally recognized experts in the field, reviews the evidence that each area is involved in spatial cognition, examines the mechanisms underlying the generati on of spatial behaviours, and...
