Like a GPS in your brain, a newly discovered type of cell helps people keep track of their location while navigating an unfamiliar environment, researchers say. Using direct human brain recordings, ...
A breakthrough discovery at the Kavli Institute at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway has uncovered a previously unknown function of grid cells, the specialized ...
May-Britt Moser is a Nobel Laureate in Physiology. The Norwegian neuroscientist spoke to Srijana Mitra Das at Times Evoke Evolve about how our brain understands places, memories, fragrances — and our ...
Grid cells, space-mapping neurons of the entorhinal cortex of rodents, could also work for hyperbolic surfaces. A new study tests a model (a computer simulation) based on mathematical principles, that ...
"It took human culture millennia to arrive at a mathematical formulation of non-Euclidean spaces", comments SISSA neuroscientist Alessandro Treves, "but it's very likely that our brains could get ...
