Resumen
Spatial cognition is a complex higher function in mammals and is involved in a variety of tasks that can be
explored in the laboratory. In this review we will discuss the role of the posterior parietal/anteromedial cortex
of rodents, also known as the parietal association cortex, and the hippocampal formation in spatial navigation.
We will also discuss other higher associational functions of the posterior parietal/anteromedial cortex as they
relate to Dr. Pinto-Hamuy’s contribution to understanding behavioral functions.
