Research in mice illuminates the molecular mechanisms that underlie spatial mapping in the brain. Scientists found that a gene called Fos plays a key role in helping the brain use specialized ...

Neuroscientists reveal how the brain decides which locations will best anchor memories—before new experiences even happen.

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 ...

The brain creates internal 'maps' to help us navigate and learn from our surroundings, but how these maps form remains a challenge to understand. Now, a study led by Liset M. de la Prida at the Cajal ...

Facts and ideas can be mapped in ways that show how they relate to each other. The map drawing usually begins with outlined notes, because few people can think fast enough to construct a map in ...

Morris Moscovitch, the Max and Gianna Glassman Chair in Neuropsychology and Aging in the Department of Psychology at University of Toronto, will present at the next Origin Science Scholars program ...
