The simple act of crossing a road could help shield the brain from dementia and other cognitive conditions, according to new research from the Australian Catholic University and UNSW Sydney's Center ...

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, ...

Steven Weisberg, a researcher at The University of Texas at Arlington, put some of the most advanced artificial intelligence ...

The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's grid cells, blurring the internal GPS system and impairing navigation.

Stress hormone cortisol may disrupt grid cells in the brain, impairing spatial navigation and affecting the neural system that guides orientation.

The stress hormone cortisol can impair a person's ability to navigate in space, disrupting the work of special neural ...

The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's navigational system. It impairs the function of the grid cells that play a ...

Navigation in mammals including humans and rodents depends on specialized neural networks that encode the animal's location and trajectory in the environment, serving essentially as a GPS, findings ...
