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 ...

People who are stressed out have a harder time orienting themselves. A new study used neuroimaging to reveal why this happens ...

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 ...

New research shows stress impairs direction sense, weakening the brain’s navigation system and making it harder to stay ...

New research reveals that while our memory centers are constantly shifting, our internal compass remains frozen in time to ...

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 ...

The brain creates internal 'maps' to help us navigate and learn from our surroundings, but how these maps form remains a challenge to understand. Now, a study led by Liset M. de la Prida at the Cajal ...

Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

A new spatial transcriptomic approach captures the regulation of splicing and polyadenylation sites during pubescent brain development at near-single-cell resolution. An international collaboration, ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, ...
