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

In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists found the brain’s internal GPS changes each time we navigate a familiar, static environment. This means that if someone walks the same path ...

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 ...
