Neuroscientists Reveal 'Neural Compass' That Stops You From Getting Lost
The discovery offers new insights for conditions like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's, in which navigation and orientation are often impaired.
Research pinpoints 'neural compass' of brain activity used to orient people
Researchers say they've identified a human "neural compass" -- a pattern of brain activity that helps prevent humans from becoming lost.
Scientists May Have Located Your Brain's 'Neural Compass'
For the first time, the internal compass humans use to orient themselves and navigate through the environment has been pinpointed in the human brain, researchers reported May 6 in the journal Nature Human Behavior.
Human 'neural compass' pinpointed in new study
A pattern of brain activity that helps prevent us from getting lost has been identified in a new study, published in Nature Human Behaviour. Researchers at the University of Birmingham and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich have for the first time been able to pinpoint the location of an internal neural compass which the human brain uses to orientate itself in space and navigate through the environment.
Scientists Think They've Found Our 'Neural Compass' That Stops Us Getting Lost
To keep our bodies properly oriented, our brains perform impressive feats of calculation that track our stumbling meat sack through a mental map of our surrounds. While a lot of research has focussed on the mapping,
