This project investigates how animals make spatial decisions using internal cognitive maps. By studying rats, it aims to uncover the neural mechanisms behind decision-making based on distance and reward, employing advanced recording techniques and machine learning.
One of the hallmarks of our cognition is the ability to decide by thinking several steps ahead using an internal cognitive map.
In the wild, map-based decisions can enable animals to select a target location based on the amount of food available and the cost of reaching there.
But how are such decisions made?
For example, how does the brain evaluate a nearby location with a small amount of food versus a distal location with more food?
What if the route to the distal location is steep?
Such spati…
