A team led by the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has identified a brain circuit ...

In the realm of memories, "where" holds special importance. Where did I leave my keys? Where did I eat dinner last night? Where did I first meet that friend? Recalling locations is necessary for daily ...

We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...

The study, published in Cell Reports, describes how a connection between the hippocampal hemispheres is essential for spatial navigation and memory-based decision-making. The results show that this ...

Stanford scientists found that aging disrupts the brain’s internal navigation system in mice, mirroring spatial memory decline in humans. Older mice struggled to recall familiar locations, while a few ...

A new study reveals that tarantulas can remember and reuse information about prey locations, showing advanced spatial orientation and adaptive hunting strategies. Researchers observed both ...

There is no difference over time in the spatial working memory of older people who have autistic traits and those who are neurotypical, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The new research, ...

Aiming to address age-related cognitive decline, a growing global health challenge, a team of researchers has developed a VR-based smell-training system to help combat it. This innovative VR game ...
