Daniela's drumming

How Daniela started working on (social) cognitive maps

The 2 perspectives on the hippocampus: spatial navigation and episodic memory for relational learning and cognitive maps

Power and affiliation as fundamental social dimensions

Start discussing Daniela's paper 'A map for social navigation in the human brain'

The difficulty of measuring spatial navigation with fMRI

Clinical applications of cognitive maps

Daniela Schiller is a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, where she studies the neural mechanisms of emotional control and flexibility. In this conversation, we talk about her work on cognitive maps for social behaviour, the importance of power and affiliation for our social lives, the difficulties of measuring spatial navigation with fMRI, and potential psychiatric applications of cognitive maps. BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith.
