abstract = {Spatial navigation is a fascinating behavior that is
essential for our everyday lives. It involves nearly all
sensory systems, it requires numerous parallel computations,
and it engages multiple memory systems. One of the key
problems in this field pertains to the question of reference
frames: spatial information such as direction or distance
can be coded egocentrically-relative to an observer-or
allocentrically-in a reference frame independent of the
observer. While many studies have associated striatal and
parietal circuits with egocentric coding and
entorhinal/hippocampal circuits with allocentric coding,
this strict dissociation is not in line with a growing body
of experimental data. In this review, we discuss some of the
problems that can arise when studying the neural mechanisms
that are presumed to support different spatial reference
frames. We argue that the scale of space in which a
navigation task takes place plays a crucial role in
determining the processes that are being recruited. This has
important implications, particularly for the inferences that
can be made from animal studies in small scale space about
the neural mechanisms supporting human spatial navigation in
large (environmental) spaces. Furthermore, we argue that
many of the commonly used tasks to study spatial navigation
and the underlying neuronal mechanisms involve different
types of reference frames, which can complicate the
interpretation of neurophysiological data.},
