referenceO.G. Nilsson, M.L. Shapiro, F.H. Gage, D.S. Olton, and A. Björklund published 'Spatial learning and memory following fimbria-fornix transection and grafting of fetal septal neurons to the hippocampus' in Experimental Brain Research in 1987.
referenceR.J. Mandel, F.H. Gage, and L.J. Thal found that spatial learning in rats correlates with cortical choline acetyltransferase levels and can be improved with nerve growth factor (NGF) following nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) damage, as reported in a 1989 study in Experimental Neurology.
referenceF.H. Gage and A. Björklund reported that cholinergic septal grafts into the hippocampal formation improve spatial learning and memory in aged rats through an atropine-sensitive mechanism, as published in the Journal of Neuroscience in 1986.
referenceGage, Dunnett, and Björklund documented spatial learning and motor deficits in aged rats in a 1984 Neurobiology of Aging publication.
referenceJ.S. Rhodes, H. van Praag, S. Jeffrey, I. Girard, G.S. Mitchell, T. Garland, and F.H. Gage found that exercise increases hippocampal neurogenesis to high levels but does not improve spatial learning in mice bred for increased voluntary wheel running.

claimAdding model pictures of structures to a block play area encourages children to copy designs, which facilitates spatial learning.
claimRoberta Michnick Golinkoff, PhD, conducts research on language development, the benefits of play, spatial learning, and the effects of media on children.
referenceThe positive effects of guided play on learning hold across content areas including spatial learning (Fisher et al. 2013), literacy (Han et al. 2010; Nicolopoulou et al. 2015; Hassinger-Das et al. 2016; Cavanaugh et al. 2017; Toub et al. 2018; Moedt & Holmes 2020), and mathematics (Zosh et al. 2016).
claimIntroducing visual aids, such as model pictures of structures, into a block play area can transform a free play situation into one that facilitates spatial learning by encouraging children to copy designs.

claimIn the central nervous system, heterochronic parabiosis experiments showed that young mice exposed to an old systemic environment or plasma from old mice exhibit diminished synaptic plasticity and impaired contextual fear conditioning, spatial learning, and memory, while systemic infusion of young blood plasma reverses these effects.
