Struggling with spatial navigation in a virtual reality environment can predict actual brain shrinkage a year later in adults ...

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

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 ...

EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in ...

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 ...

Targeted deep brain stimulation improves spatial navigation in virtual reality study, offering new hope for treating cognitive impairments like dementia. Study: Noninvasive modulation of the ...
