People who are stressed out have a harder time orienting themselves. A new study used neuroimaging to reveal why this happens.

New research shows stress impairs direction sense, weakening the brain’s navigation system and making it harder to stay ...

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 ...

New research reveals that while our memory centers are constantly shifting, our internal compass remains frozen in time to keep our world stable.

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
