Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...

As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it’s recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...

Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, and the University of Tokyo have found a mathematical ...

Researchers have used brain imaging to show how memories can be reactivated in the brain without them reaching conscious awareness, showing that these memories persist even when we think they have ...

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 ...

​​There's a good chance you can't remember the last time you unfolded a paper map or committed a route to memory before leaving the house. For most people, navigation has been outsourced entirely to a ...

Certain cells in the brain create a nurturing environment, enhancing the health and resilience of their neighbors, while others promote stress and damage. Using spatial transcriptomics and AI, ...

Think about the last time you walked down a crowded street, biked along a rocky hiking trail, or swum in a lake. You probably didn't have to stop and think about how you were going to navigate those ...
