This study shows that the medial temporal lobe, particularly the hippocampus, is critical for spatial relational perception, as patients with MTL damage were selectively impaired in tasks requiring relational processing of spatial layouts.

This study investigates the relationship between model-based planning and spatial memory by examining hippocampal function in patients with hippocampal resection, finding impairments linked to lesion size and covariation in controls.
