Researchers examine how well study participants perform spatial cognitive tasks while walking and standing still.
Studying the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, researchers have discovered new information about how dysfunction of the circuit that connects the two areas may contribute to memory loss in Alzheimer's.
Findings shed light on repulsion, or why the brain treats similar environments as though they are more different than a pair of environments that have nothing in common.
Researchers have identified three areas of the posterior cerebral cortex that bridge the brain's perception and memory systems.
Using brain scans and virtual reality technology, researchers discover how a temporal map of memories is generated in the entorhinal cortex.
A new study which used a video game where people navigate through a virtual town helps researchers to pinpoint how spatial information is incorporated into memory, and why remembering a specific experience can trigger memories of events which occurred in the same location.
The prefrontal cortex goes goes through a rearrangement during adolescence, where it forms a significant number of new connections to the hippocampus, a new study reports.
Vision appears to play a more dominant role than motor movements when it comes to encoding memory of large-scale spaces. The findings address a long-standing debate as to whether or not body movements aid the learning of physical spaces.
A new study sheds light on how learning the layout of a new environment and accessing the information from memory, is represented in the brain.
A new study confirm that a key aspect of human memory impaired in memory disorders exists in the type of pre-clinical animal models that influence major decisions about drug development.
According to a new study, probiotics may help to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients.
A new study could help provide new insight into why some people with Alzheimer's disease have problems with their sense of direction.
