A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...
While GPS has made getting lost nearly impossible, neuroscientists have discovered that those who can still navigate with ...

Grid cells create multiple local maps rather than single global system for spatial navigation, study finds
Grid cells are a class of specialized neurons in a brain region called the entorhinal cortex, which is known to support spatial navigation and some memory processes. Past neuroscience studies have ...
In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists found the brain's internal GPS changes each time we navigate a familiar, static environment. This means that if someone walks the same path ...
A threefold hippocampal code across conceptual directions, phase-locked to entorhinal grid activity, reveals a periodic mechanism through which entorhinal grids structure hippocampal vector ...
