Preface:
Striking recent progress has been made towards an understanding of the neural
basis of spatial cognition, centred on two areas of the brain: the hippocampal
formation and the parietal cortex. This book includes a comprehensive sample 
of recent research into how these two areas work, either alone or in
cooperation with each other, to support spatial cognition. The research 
presented here is necessarily interdisciplinary, including consideration of 
the effects of brain damage in humans, functional imaging of the human brain,
electrophysiological recording of single neurones, and computer simulation 
of the action of the networks of neurons in these brain areas.
	The first chapter of the book provides an overall introduction to 
the field and to the substance of each of the remaining chapters. In this
introductory chapter we also present a framework in which to consider the 
seemingly diverse spatial and mnemonic functions of the hippocampal formation 
and parietal cortex. This book should provide a useful starting point and 
reference for researchers and students of neuroscience, psychology or 
cognitive science who have an interest in spatial cognition.
