Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

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

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 ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information. How does the well-controlled and yet highly nimble nature of ...

As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it’s recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, led by Bindu Paul, an associate professor of pharmacology, psychiatry and neuroscience ...

Findings from a study suggest that using a specialized diffusion weighted MRI scan to monitor the spatial pattern of individual cortical microstructural change in the brain may be a promising approach ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say results of a new study are advancing efforts to exploit a new target for Alzheimer's ...

(A) For cortical mean diffusivity, warmer color indicates greater reduction in grey matter integrity. For cortical thickness, cooler color reflects greater reduction in grey matter thickness. (B) ...
