Persons under stress may have a harder time spatially orienting themselves. Researchers in Bochum have discovered why. The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's navigational system. It impairs ...

Stress hormone cortisol may disrupt grid cells in the brain, impairing spatial navigation and affecting the neural system ...

Using direct human brain recordings, scientists have identified a new type of cell in the brain that helps people to keep track of their relative location while navigating an unfamiliar environment.

The cognitive map for spatial navigation is thought to rely on grid cells. Scientists ahave now put forward a mathematical theory that explains key grid-cell features and how these give rise to a ...
