To simplify the problem of studying how the brain makes a spatial map, a team lead by Jean - René Duhamel and Werner Graf of CNRS - Collège de France in Paris trained two macaque monkeys to focus their eyes on a spot of light on a screen; the dot would appear for a few seconds, disappear, then appear a few seconds later somewhere else on the screen.

UNIGE neuroscientists thus asked how these spatial maps are used by the brain itself when it performs specific tasks.

The spatial mapping might also arise from a physical map of numbers in the brain, which has been found in humans in the right posterior parietal cortex but has not yet been seen in animals.

One idea here is that humans have a sense of linear time — the notion that there is a past, present, and future — and that this becomes incorporated into the spatial mapping system to produce a spatiotemporal mapping system, a way of localizing oneself in time as well as place.

In my talk, I will summarise the properties of these cells and suggest how they contribute to the creation of a spatial map of the environment and its updating on the basis of new information.
