Spatial-numerical cognition refers to the cognitive processes that underpin the representation of numerical magnitudes within a spatial framework. Often conceptualised as a ‘mental number line’, this ...
Findings from a study suggest that using a specialized diffusion weighted MRI scan to monitor the spatial pattern of individual cortical microstructural change in the brain may be a promising approach ...
The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...
New theory suggests consciousness may arise from a hidden brain wave, challenging long-held beliefs about neurons and awareness.
As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it’s recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...
In their classic country hit, "Wide Open Spaces," the Dixie Chicks sum up the findings of a new study which found that the structural environments that surround us either restrict, or promote, our ...
A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...
The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...
Sometimes illumination comes to our rescue at the very moment when all seems lost; we have knocked at every door and they open on nothing until, at last, we stumble unconsciously against the only one ...
Eric Roth, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. He is the director of the neuroscience major and the 4+1 accelerated ...
Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.
