New findings from virtual reality study could help provide treatments for those with memory problems, study reports.
A new study could help provide new insight into why some people with Alzheimer's disease have problems with their sense of direction.
People use geometrical relationships to help orient themselves, a new study reports.
Researchers examine how well study participants perform spatial cognitive tasks while walking and standing still.
A new study could provide insight into memory problems seen in neurodegenerative diseases in which gamma waves are disturbed.
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.
Researchers show that object permanence abilities in cockatoos are at the same level of apes and four year old children.
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.
Using a line of genetically modified mice, researchers discover boosting acetylcholine can disturb cognitive function.
Scientists have discovered that significantly more neurons are generated in the brains of older animals if the signaling molecule Dickkopf-1 is turned off. The results give rise to the question whether the function of Dickkopf-1 may be turned off using drugs to prevent age related cognitive decline.
