Scientists have gained new insights into the part of the brain that gives us a sense of direction, by tracking neural activity with the latest advances in brain imaging techniques. The findings shed ...

A study in fruit flies reveals how the brain's compass and steering regions make course corrections. Our sense of direction is essential to our ability to navigate the world around us. It acts as the ...

A study published in Nature provides insight into how the brain processes sensory information from the internal organs. Researchers at Harvard Medical School used high-resolution imaging to identify ...

Scientists have created a device that can read a person's brain signals and translate their internal speech, at least on a modest level. reading time 3 minutes Scientists are inching closer to making ...

Scientists have developed brain implants that can decode internal speech — identifying words that two people spoke in their minds without moving their lips or making a sound. Although the technology ...

New details about how the brain senses orientation might lead to earlier Alzheimer’s detection. A specialized group of brain cells called head direction (HD) cells, serve as the brain’s internal ...

Since their discovery in 2004, the grid cells in the brain, which are important for our orientation, have been regarded as a kind of "GPS in the head." However, scientists at the German Cancer ...

In a new study, researchers merged artificial intelligence with targeted electrical brain stimulation to show that it is possible to improve specific human brain functions related to self-control and ...

A new study in fruit flies reveals how the brain’s internal compass and steering regions work together. These brain regions are connected by neurons that help flies make course corrections in real ...
