EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in ...

Researchers have revealed how two neural circuits located in the brain's retrosplenial cortex are directly linked to spatial navigation and memory storage. This discovery could lead to more precise ...

Nuri Jeong remembers the feeling of surprise she felt during a trip back to South Korea, while visiting her grandmother, who'd been grappling with Alzheimer's disease. "I hadn't seen her in six years, ...

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 ...

Think about the last time you arrived somewhere completely unfamiliar. The way you moved through that space, whether ...

Usually, forgetting where you put your coffee cup down doesn’t have a major impact on the rest of your life – you can easily retrieve another cup of coffee (and find the other one later, in a cabinet ...

A small study examined the associations between the frequency of video game play and spatial abilities. There was no ...

Microsoft Research’s Mirage stores 3D scene data directly in diffusion latent space, cutting GPU memory 55x and generation ...

Anyone who survived the ’80s and ’90s has gone through the aggravating ritual of rewinding a video or cassette tape. Wanting to catch what someone said in a movie scene or listen to that rad new Def ...

A new study uses optogenetics and roflumilast to prove sleep deprivation blocks memory retrieval, not storage.
