摘要: How does the human brain allow us to interact with and navigate through a constantly changing world? Whilst controlled experiments using functional imaging can give insightful snapshots of neuronal responses relatively simplified stimuli, they cannot hope mirror challenges faced by in real world. However, trying study mechanisms supporting daily living represents huge challenge. By combining neuroimaging, an accurate interactive virtual simulation bustling central London (UK), novel means ‘reading’ participants' thoughts whilst moved around city, we ascertained online neural correlates underpinning navigation this real-world context. A complex choreography dynamics was revealed comprising focal distributed, transient sustained activity. Our results provide new insights into specific roles individual areas, particular hippocampus, retrosplenial, frontal cortices, as well offering clues about how specialisations operate within dynamic systems.
