碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 心理學系 / 104 / The hippocampus plays an important role in memory and spatial cognition. It acts like an inner GPS in the brain. It has been shown from animal studies that the areas along the long axis of the hippocampus may have different specialized functions. In rats, many studies have found that the size of place field of the place cells in the ventral hippocampus is larger than that in the dorsal hippocampus. Whether it is the same in humans remains unclear. In this study, we used the fMRI adaptation paradigm to explore how the distances between landmarks in the real world are represented in the hippocampus. In conclusion, we found the activation of the posterior hippocampus correlated with distances of consecutive landmarks presented.
