The neuroscience of learning: beyond the Hebbian synapse. (2013, background): “There is now a large behavioral literature pro and con (for recent reviews, see Burgess 2008, Cheng 2008, Cheng & Newcombe 2005, Vallortigara 2009).”
Extending mind, visuospatial integration, and the evolution of the parietal lobes in the human genus (2016, background): “Imagery and memory are the integrated components of neural processes underlying egocentric and allocentric representations, mostly relying on a network formed by the medial temporal and medial parietal areas (Burgess, 2008; Freton et al., 2014).”
Heritability and the evolution of cognitive traits (2015, background): “The evolution of cognition and the brain draws attention from multiple biological disciplines including animal behavior, evolution, ecology, neuroscience, and cognitive science (Burgess 2008; Van Overwalle 2009; Pravosudov and Roth 2013; Woodgate et al. 2014).”
Impact of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Training on Intrinsic Brain Connectivity (2011, background): “The retrosplenial cortex is activated by scene viewing and imagery and is involved in placing a scene within a broader spatial environment by integrating egocentric spatial information into an allocentric environmental representation (Burgess, 2008; Epstein, 2008; O'Craven and Kanwisher, 2000).”
Reactivation of neural ensembles during the retrieval of recent and remote memory. (2013, neutral): “These regions were selected based on their contributions to spatial learning and their anatomical connections with the hippocampus [23–28].”
A new neural framework for visuospatial processing (2011, background): “…its function in monkeys, the RSC in humans seems to be directly involved in coordinating and translating between egocentric and allocentric reference frames 129–131 (see REF.12 for a computational model of this process), enabling individuals to orient themselves with respect to their environment.”
Virtual memory palaces: immersion aids recall (2018, methodology): “Border cells and boundary vector cells in the subiculum and entorhinal cortex activate in close proximity to environment boundaries, depending on head direction (Burgess 2008; Lever et al. 2009).”
Goals and Habits in the Brain (2013, neutral): “…domains, and it remains possible that spatial behavior may depend on special-purpose mechanisms of geometrical cognition (Gallistel, 1990; Burgess, 2008; Cheng, 1986; O’Keefe and Nadel, 1978) or indeed Pavlovian approach, for which the contingency between action and outcome is moot…”
Video Games and Spatial Cognition (2010, background): “For instance, in an FPS game, the player’s character is free to move and—just as in real-world navigation—the player’s brain will actively construct a spatial representation of the initially unfamiliar environment (Burgess, 2008).”
A Correspondence between Individual Differences in the Brain's Intrinsic Functional Architecture and the Content and Form of Self-Generated Thoughts (2014, background): “The involvement of the hippocampus in the default-mode network is a matter of debate [89,90], however, studies suggest that this structure is involved in processes of episodic memory and spatial navigation (for a meta-analysis see [91]), which together are thought to depend on the process of scene c”
Architectural design and the brain: effects of ceiling height and perceived enclosure on beauty judgments and approach-avoidance decisions (2015, background): “Thus, we reasoned that variations in ceiling height modulates brain networks for visuospatial processing, localized in medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures (Aguirre, Detre, Alsop, & D'Esposito, 1996; Burgess, 2008; Spiers et al., 2001), or the frontal and parietal cortices in the dorsal stream whic”
