Replications are good though! It would of course be better if they were labelled as such instead of claiming novelty...I like the fact that this paper shows how fast an egocentric response can be learned, while learning an allocentric map takes more time (at least more than what they've tested here, since the mice fail to learn the task based on distal cues. I'm not buying the "visual cues are unstable" argument; the mice just need more than 14 trials to learn a hidden reward location in an allocentric map! When we did this in rats it took about 1-2 weeks with about 30 trials/ day to learn!). I also like that, for once, they really try to make odour / floor cues irrelevant. People rarely control for these these days.On the other hand, their main claim that mice can do allocentric 'shortcuts' based on self-motion alone is not that convincing. They show the individual data in the supplement of Fig 6: only maybe 3/8 mice seem to do a shortcut, so not even 50%. On top of that, during learning of the new target location, the authors mention that the mice sometimes do that shortcut path in reverse, so it may not be that novel. Too bad the reviewers didn't pick up on these flaws, which IMO undermine the only novelty of the paper (unless I missed something). <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Navigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Navigation</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Shortcut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Shortcut</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/CognitiveMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CognitiveMap</a> (?)
