On a trip to Siberia in 2019, cognitive scientist Pablo Fernandez Velasco attended a raffle drawing with the region’s Evenki reindeer herders. Prizes included a soccer ball, tea, a portable radio, a ...

People at risk of Alzheimer's disease have impaired spatial navigation prior to problems with other cognitive functions, including memory, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The research, ...

Spatial computing is expanding from visualization to intelligent systems through AI, IoT, 5G, and cloud convergence. Key opportunities include enhanced real-time decision-making and automation in ...

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, ...

Targeted deep brain stimulation improves spatial navigation in virtual reality study, offering new hope for treating cognitive impairments like dementia. Study: Noninvasive modulation of the ...

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 ...

Neurons become active when mice exploring a maze correct after making a wrong turn. During routine navigation in daily life, our brains use spatial mapping and memory to guide us from point A to point ...
