Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

To move around in their surroundings in meaningful and goal-directed ways, a skill known as navigation, humans and animals rely on a series of complex cognitive (i.e., mental) processes. Navigation is ...
