While GPS has made getting lost nearly impossible, neuroscientists have discovered that those who can still navigate with ...

People at risk of Alzheimer's disease have impaired spatial navigation prior to problems with other cognitive functions, including memory, finds a new study. People at risk of Alzheimer's disease have ...

Chinese researchers have reported that slow rhythmic fluctuations in brain activity—theta oscillations in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)–entorhinal cortex (EC) circuit—play an essential role in ...

People who grew up in rural or suburban areas have better spatial navigation skills than those raised in cities, particularly cities with grid-pattern streets, finds a new study led by researchers at ...

Research in mice illuminates the molecular mechanisms that underlie spatial mapping in the brain. Scientists found that a gene called Fos plays a key role in helping the brain use specialized ...
