Neuroscientists reveal how the brain decides which locations will best anchor memories—before new experiences even happen.

Navigation in mammals including humans and rodents depends on specialized neural networks that encode the animal's location and trajectory in the environment, serving essentially as a GPS, findings ...

In the realm of memories, "where" holds special importance. Where did I leave my keys? Where did I eat dinner last night? Where did I first meet that friend? Recalling locations is necessary for daily ...

Memories of places "drift" across the brain as they are carried by different sets of neurons over time, a new study in mice suggests. Historically, neuroscientists thought that memories of locations ...

In a powerful fusion of AI and neuroscience, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and at the Allen Institute have created one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain ...

Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...
