Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how hippocampal place cells, which map an animal’s location, rely on both landmarks and a process called path integration, which updates position based on self-movement, and finds that the path integration gain is surprisingly flexible and can be recalibrated through experience.
  • Using an augmented reality system with moving visual cues that conflict with the rat’s self-motion, researchers observed that prolonged exposure to this conflict causes a lasting adjustment in the spatial updating process, indicating that the brain can rapidly adapt its internal navigation computations.
  • These findings suggest that visual landmarks do more than correct errors—they also help fine-tune the brain's internal mechanisms for spatial navigation, allowing for continuous adaptation and more accurate mapping of the environment over time.]
