Discover how grid cells in the human memory network reflect spatial encoding patterns akin to those found in rats' brains. According to a lovely new Nature paper combining fMRI imaging with animal ...

Accumulating evidence indicates that the foundation of mammalian spatial orientation and learning is based on an internal network that can keep track of relative position and orientation (from an ...

When animals move through 3D spaces, the neat system of grid cell activity they use for navigating on flat surfaces gets more disorderly. That has implications for some ideas about memory and other ...
