The finale also delivers two devastating reveals. First, Alexander learns that Rachel (Hannah Cruz), his ex-fiancée, ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information.

From navigation to social behavior to personality, scientists are rewriting what it means to be a clever snake. Here’s what ...

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 ...

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 ...

Summary: Spatial memory — the ability to recall “where” — is one of the first cognitive skills to decline in aging and a hallmark of dementia. Researchers found that in older mice, grid cells in the ...

The authors report that optogenetic inhibition of hippocampal axon terminals in retrosplenial cortex impairs the performance of a delayed non-match to place task. Elucidating the role of hippocampal ...

Memories of places "drift" across the brain as they are carried by different sets of neurons over time, a new study in mice suggests. Historically, neuroscientists thought that memories of locations ...

Introduction: In an increasingly aging society, testing hippocampal-dependent cognition in a quick and low resource manner will be crucial in: assessing the potential benefits of lifestyle choices and ...
