OHBM 2024 Poster | A gradient of spatial novelty and familiarity along the hippocampal long axis

Download the .pdf of the poster here. Password: OHBM2024 Introduction: Recognition of novelty constitutes a vital aspect of our ability to encode and navigate our surroundings. Though extensively studied e.g. in the context of item novelty [1], human neuroimaging studies of spatial novelty and its impact on long-term memory formation remains relatively scarce. Limited reports show that spatial novelty can boost long-term memory [e.g. 2] and is associated with distinct responses along the cortical surface and hippocampal long axis [3, 4], which requires further investigation. Here, we assessed participants during navigation of a virtual reality environment using ultra-high field 7T fMRI…
