USC Brain Project: Hippocampus and Navigation Group

Hippocampus and Navigation Group: Homepage

O'Keefeand Nadel (1978) distinguished between two paradigms for navigation: the locale system for map-based navigation, proposed to be in the hippocampus; and the taxon (behavioral orientation) systems for route navigation. Our World Graph (WG) theory expands the idea of a map by developing the hypothesis that cognitive and motivational states interact. The WG model comprises a network of schemas, which incorporate the world graph properties to produce goal-oriented behavior.
