Abstract
► Landmarks and surfaces are two sources of information used in spatial navigation. ► Place learning tests in controlled spaces unveil systems of spatial representation. ► Arrays of landmarks are used to assess encoding of distance and direction. ► Enclosed spaces are used to assess representation of environmental shape. ► Comparative work offers insights on the neural and innate bases of geometry encoding.
