SESSION ABSTRACT
All creatures must move and act in space to survive. The elementary act is to approach or to avoid, an inherently emotional act. In mammals, place cells in hippocampus cull multi-sensory information to represent places; they are spatially arrayed one synapse away in grid cells in entorhinal cortex. In people, place cells also represent events, people, and ideas and grid cells array them in temporal, social, and conceptual spaces. The spatial foundation of thought is evident in expression of thought, in gesture, diagrams, and language, with implications for design, creativity, and cooperation.
