          GPS of the Brain: Marmoset Gaze Reveals New Insights into Spatial Navigation

          Researchers have discovered that the common marmoset, a diurnal primate, navigates its surroundings differently from previously studied rats, reflecting its unique ecological adaptations. Marmosets use visual cues, relying on rapid head-gaze shifts while stationary, and minimize head movements while navigating. In contrast, rats use low-velocity head movements and tactile whisker explorations.

          Virtual reality can spot navigation problems in early Alzheimer’s disease

          People with mild cognitive impairment who had positive biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease in their cerebrospinal fluid performed worse on virtual reality navigation tasks. Virtual reality which incorporates navigational tasks could prove a helpful tool in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease for those at risk.

          Sea Hero Quest, a navigation themed cell phone game, is helping researchers to identify those at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Those with a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's perform worse on the spatial navigation tasks in the game, taking more time and less efficient routes to checkpoint goals.
