Link to our new papers in Matt’s thread below. We show hippocampal activation in a sequential navigation task that can’t be mapped, and that people can shortcut without distal cues to help them map the environment, unless sections are trained separately. Then you need distal cues
We have two new papers out - both inspired by the literature on parallel memory systems.
Our work was funded by @ESRC and @BritishAcademy_ A big thank you to my awesome collaborators, including @Anth_McGregor, @IhssenNiklas, Dina Lew, and Joe Austen.

New: Remarkable interview with Tory MP @GullisJonathan @PatrickChristys on @GBNEWS last night in which he told how he has bullet proof cling film across the windows of his home, & a panic button in his bedroom. And, to anyone planning to threaten him at home, he says this:
