Cellular Networks Underlying Human Spatial Navigation, Nature
 









Excerpts: Place cells of the rodent hippocampus constitute one of the most
striking examples of a correlation between neuronal activity and complex
behaviour in mammals. (...)
It thus remains unclear whether (...) human navigation is driven by a different,
visually based neural mechanism. We directly recorded from 317 neurons (...)
while subjects explored and navigated a virtual town. Here we present evidence
for a neural code of human spatial navigation based on cells that respond at
specific spatial locations and cells that respond to views of landmarks
