Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.

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

Usually, forgetting where you put your coffee cup down doesn’t have a major impact on the rest of your life – you can easily retrieve another cup of coffee (and find the other one later, in a cabinet ...

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 ...

Scientists now know that while we snooze, our brains help solidify the memories we made during the day. In this Special Feature, we investigate whether simple techniques might help improve memory ...
