Moving about the web the spider Agelena labyrinthica continuously adjusts the prospective return angle. The amount of path integration was indicated by two compromise angles, return angle e and goal angle t# (Fig. 2). The spider was primed to one of two perpendicular light azimuths, L1 or L2. Subseq
Theoretical, behavioral, and electrophysiologic evidence suggests that the hippocampal formation may play a role in path integration, a form of spatial navigation in which an animal can return to a starting point by integrating self-movement cues generated on its outward journey. The present study e
## Abstract It is often assumed that navigation implies the use, by animals, of landmarks indicating the location of the goal. However, many animals (including humans) are able to return to the starting point of a journey, or to other goal sites, by relying on selfβmotion cues only. This process is
