Animals depend on navigation to find food, water, mate(s), shelter, etc. Different species use diverse strategies that utilise forms of motion- and location-related information derived from the environment to navigate to their goals and back. We start by describing behavioural studies undertaken to unearth different strategies used in navigation. Then we move on to outline what we know about the brain area most associated with spatial navigation, namely the hippocampal formation. While doing so, we first briefly explain the anatomical connections in the area and then proceed to describe the neural correlates that are considered to play a role in navigation. We conclude by looking at how the strategies might interact and complement each other in certain contexts.

导航策略及其神经关联

动物依靠导航来寻找食物、水、配偶、住所等。不同的物种使用不同的策略，利用从环境中获得的运动和位置相关信息的形式来导航到它们的目标并返回。我们首先描述为发掘导航中使用的不同策略而进行的行为研究。然后我们继续概述我们所知道的与空间导航最相关的大脑区域，即海马结构。在这样做的同时，我们首先简要解释该区域的解剖连接，然后继续描述被认为在导航中发挥作用的神经关联。最后，我们研究了这些策略在某些情况下如何相互作用和相互补充。
