Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, and the University of Tokyo have found a mathematical ...

Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly ...

To move around in their surroundings in meaningful and goal-directed ways, a skill known as navigation, humans and animals rely on a series of complex cognitive (i.e., mental) processes. Navigation is ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new spatial transcriptomic approach captures the regulation of splicing and polyadenylation sites during pubescent brain development at near-single-cell resolution. An international collaboration, ...

The expanding process diagram when a brain-inspired agent begins the autonomous exploring process and builds the experience map. This framework draws inspiration from the experience mapping structure ...

Every time an animal learns to navigate a familiar environment, its brain quietly rewires itself at the molecular level. A new study published in the journal Neuroinformatics offers one of the most ...
