The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's grid cells, blurring the internal GPS system and impairing navigation.

Stress hormone cortisol may disrupt grid cells in the brain, impairing spatial navigation and affecting the neural system ...

The stress hormone cortisol can impair a person's ability to navigate in space, disrupting the work of special neural ...

This study illustrates the spatiotemporal dynamics of neuron subtype changes within the entorhinal cortex–hippocampal circuit during Alzheimer’s disease progression. EC-stellate neurons progressively ...

Researchers found that mental representations known as cognitive maps, located in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, are activated when the brain performs mental simulations of a navigational ...
