Abstract

The retrosplenial cortex has recently received attention from the neuroscience community for its role in spatial processing and involvement in diseases such as Alzheimer's. Here, we discuss a recent study by Silson et al. (Silson EH, Gilmore AW, Kalinowski SE, Steel A, Kidder A, Martin A, Baker CI. J Neurosci 39: 705-717, 2019.) that reported functionally specific activation within this region during scene perception and (mnemonic) construction. We then propose considerations for future experiments such as adopting standardized methodology and terminology that may improve the interpretation of retrosplenial cortex function within the broader literature.
