Abstract
Highlights: Navigation is a behavior fundamental to all mobile animals, and incorporates various cognitive functions, including memory, planning, decision-making, and updating models of the world. Historically, the neural underpinnings of flexible navigation have focused on the hippocampal formation, but recent evidence suggests that regions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are crucial to many aspects of navigation, especially when environments are complex or dynamic. This review summarizes what we know from recent human, non-human primate, and rodent studies, proposing a novel perspective that incorporates our knowledge across species and brain regions seeking to avoid tunnel vision in understanding the multifaceted behavior in navigation.
