New research shows stress impairs direction sense, weakening the brain’s navigation system and making it harder to stay ...
People who are stressed out have a harder time orienting themselves. A new study used neuroimaging to reveal why this happens ...
A longstanding question in neuroscience is how mammalian brains, including ours, adapt to external environments, information and experiences. In a study published in Nature, researchers at the Jan and ...
The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's grid cells, blurring the internal GPS system and impairing navigation.
The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's navigational system. It impairs the function of the grid cells that play a ...
The stress hormone cortisol can impair a person's ability to navigate in space, disrupting the work of special neural ...
A longstanding question in neuroscience is how mammalian brains (including ours) adapt to external environments, information, and experiences. In a paradigm-shifting study published in Nature, ...
Researchers have discovered the mechanistic steps underlying a new type of synaptic plasticity called behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP). The study reveals how the entorhinal cortex (EC) ...
