How the brain implements recognition of familiar faces, objects, and scenes at the neural level?

Bicanski and Burgess 2019 propose that grid cells support visual recognition memory, by encoding translation vectors between salient stimulus features. They provide an explicit neural mechanism for the role of directed saccades in hypothesis-driven, constructive perception and recognition, and

A gravity-based three-dimensional compass in the mouse brain

Head direction cells in the mammalian limbic system are thought to function as an allocentric neuronal compass. Although traditional views hold that the compass of ground-dwelling species is planar, Angelaki et al. 2019 show that head-direction cells in the rodent
