The simple act of crossing a road could help shield the brain from dementia and other cognitive conditions, according to new research from the Australian Catholic University and UNSW Sydney's Center ...

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

On a trip to Siberia in 2019, cognitive scientist Pablo Fernandez Velasco attended a raffle drawing with the region’s Evenki reindeer herders. Prizes included a soccer ball, tea, a portable radio, a ...

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, ...

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 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 ...

Neurons become active when mice exploring a maze correct after making a wrong turn. During routine navigation in daily life, our brains use spatial mapping and memory to guide us from point A to point ...

New research from the University of Sydney links fatty, sugary diets to impaired brain function. The findings build on a growing body of evidence showing the negative impact of high-fat, high-sugar ...
