Researchers have developed a new maze to help test spatial and navigational memory. The new honeycomb maze is a significant improvement over the standard Morris Water Maze, researchers report.
A new study by Riken researchers reveals how the hippocampus is able to maintain a mental map of both a rat's location and the movements of other rats close by.
Researchers have identified a brain mechanism that appears to support navigation systems used in both linguistic and spatial tasks.
Researchers report estrogen and progesterone can affect memory and problem solving.
Researchers have pinpointed the areas of the brain most sensitive to even the tiniest borders.
Researchers have discovered an unexpected diversity within CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus.
A new study reports problems with spatial navigation could predict those at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease years before symptoms appear.
A new study reports the retrosplenial cortex appears to play a vital role in navigation and spatial mapping.
Researchers report on how our understanding of how local places connect geographically helps the brain to form a comprehensive global map.
Researchers use EEG in order to identify the neural mechanisms of spatial navigation.
Researchers explore synaptic mechanisms of rhythmic brain waves thanks to custom designed tools.
