Imagine. You are a taxi driver in New York City. Each day you traverse across the mazes of streets from Manhattan to Brooklyn. You make new turns and lane changes every hour during your hectic day and experience new sights with every customer. It is Tuesday afternoon, just after one p.m., and you pull up in front of an office building on the corner of 68th and Madison, picking up a man wearing a dark jacket and a slight scowl. He enters your cab and directs you to take him to the East End Tavern at 83rd and 1st. Immediately you transcend the information and are on your way. You can picture the bar in your head; you had picked up a fairly inebriated woman from the same bar just last week. As your mind guides you to your destination your hands move with muscle memory and you form images in your mind of exactly what you expect to be around your next corner. Within the hour you arrive at the tavern, looking exactly as you expected it to, and drop off your somewhat ticked-off passenger. Your brain was able to interpret information about a location and recognize exactly where it was. Not only that, but you do this process with hundreds of different locations each day alone! How is it that the brain can recognize a spatial location and, furthermore, identify the pathways to get there so easily? Questions like this have spurred the search for answers and have gained the attention of notable neuroscientists around the world. As a taxi driver, it is important to be able to be speedy in planning out the fastest course possible. This is only possible through the continual creation of new pathways and patterns within the brain. Furthermore, the plasticity of the brain is constantly causing it to change and learn. Neuroscientists have conducted research providing a base for theories linking neural coding, cognition, memory acquisition, and learning (Hartley et al, 2014). Within this very complex area of neuroscience, a distinction must be made; the relevant research that has been done chiefly surrounds the areas of complex neural pathways that help in navigating through long, complex distances, however this area is fairly separate from the study of neural pathways that help with simple locational cognition such as picking a book up or shooting a basketball. Most current research is centrally involved in the former, which heavily relates to an area in a structure located deep within the medial temporal lobes that has withstood evolution for years. This structure is known as the hippocampus.
