People who are stressed out have a harder time orienting themselves. A new study used neuroimaging to reveal why this happens ...
A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

Grid cells create multiple local maps rather than single global system for spatial navigation, study finds
Grid cells are a class of specialized neurons in a brain region called the entorhinal cortex, which is known to support spatial navigation and some memory processes. Past neuroscience studies have ...
