Researchers have identified a network of cells in the entorhinal cortex that appear to play a key role into putting experience into a temporal context.
Two new studies advance understanding of how the brain encodes episodic memories. The findings have the potential to develop new avenues of treatment for memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease and TBI.
A new study fills in major gaps in research about the brain's so-called 'GPS system'.
Researchers report rats simulate journeys to areas they have not been able to reach while at rest.
Researchers report on how memories formed in one area of the brain are replayed and transferred to a different area during rest.
A new study could help provide new insight into why some people with Alzheimer's disease have problems with their sense of direction.
A new study theorizes the development of grid cells depends upon the synaptic input from place cells.
The spatial dissociation in Alzheimer's disease that causes people to wander may be a result of tau accumulation in the entorhinal cortex's grid cells, a new study reports.
According to a new study, the brain's internal navigation system works in the same fashion as the grid cell system.
A drop of testosterone under the tongue allowed women to better orient themselves in navigational tests, a new study reports.
New discovery could change the way we think about how the brain helps us to navigate.
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.
