Path Integration Promotes Flexible Navigational Decision Making
Flexible decision making depends on internal representations that capture the latent structure of a task, allowing prior knowledge to be applied in novel circumstances. Spatial navigation provides a useful model for studying flexible choice behavior, because spatial location is itself a latent variable that must be inferred rather than directly perceived. Here, we trained rats on a navigation…
