Navigating space: "self" versus "world" coordinates (IMAGE)
Caption
As a rat plans to move from a start position to a target, they can consider the location of the target in "world" coordinates (shown as the target in relation to the reward port with blue vectors) or in "self" coordinates (shown as the target in relation to the current position of the rat at the start port, with green vectors). The researchers found that the self-centred representation dominated during the planning period.
