#SpatialCognition question: any studies that show that if you learn a response (e.g. "turn left at choice point) in one environment, you are more likely to repeat this response in a new environment?
So, "response #generalisation" ?
I'm pretty sure this is a thing but can't find a good study to cite about it...

🧠 New study by Asumbisa, Peyrache & Trenholm (2025): Stereo #olfaction underlies stable #coding of #HeadDirection in blind mice. Inhibiting #odor detection in just one nostril, or removing the spatial difference in airflow, disrupts head direction cell tuning and impairs mice’s spatial orientation → stereo smell is essential for using olfactory cues to form a stable, #allocentric sense of direction.

People who use rats in #SpatialCognition tasks, or decision-making tasks, which strain do you prefer? 🐀
(Ideally, please comment on why!)
(Multiple choices possible if you really have to) -
Songs that are about #science are great - like this one about gender differences in spatial navigation.
