          How the Brain Navigates Cities

          Researchers say the brain appears to be wired to calculate not the shortest path, but the "pointiest" path, facing us toward our destination as much as possible.

          Why Older People Might Lose Their Way

          Researchers report the firing patterns of grid cells are less stable in older adults. This, they say, could be why older people have more problems with spatial navigation than younger people.
