      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.},
