Using a chocolatey reward, researchers discover how rats form some memories.
Researchers discover grid cells can help mice to effectively map their location in the dark.
A new study reports problems with spatial navigation could predict those at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease years before symptoms appear.
Researchers propose a new theory of human thinking, suggesting our brain's navigation system is key to thinking. This may explain why our knowledge seems to be organized in spatial fashion.
Researchers report patters created by grid cells are modified by the shape of the environment.
New discovery could change the way we think about how the brain helps us to navigate.
Researchers report on how memories formed in one area of the brain are replayed and transferred to a different area during rest.
Switching between operational modes occurs dynamically according to the demands of the task at hand, a new study reports.
The postrhinal cortex of rats contains three types of spatial cells which act together to provide a sense of location and directional orientation.
A new study could help provide new insight into why some people with Alzheimer's disease have problems with their sense of direction.
A drop of testosterone under the tongue allowed women to better orient themselves in navigational tests, 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.
