Researchers have revealed how two neural circuits located in the brain's retrosplenial cortex are directly linked to spatial navigation and memory storage. This discovery could lead to more precise ...

In a study that sheds new light on how memory and spatial cognition are related to each other in the brain, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the Veteran ...

Psychology graduate students with interests in Cognition or Cognitive Development engage in doctoral training that promotes expertise in the theories, current knowledge, and research paradigms in ...

The multi-level testing framework is designed across spatial relations, spatial scenes, and prompt engineering strategies, with standardized scripts ensuring normalization. Recently, the Journal of ...

In a long-term study of mountain chickadees, researchers have shown for the first time that there is a genetic component linked to the tiny birds' highly specialized spatial memory and that ...

Navigating space effectively is crucial for survival. Our species evolved a sophisticated spatial cognitive system for this purpose. In humans, systems of language and space emerged in tandem.

Western animal behavior and cognition researchers tracked the spatial cognition and lifespan of 227 mountain chickadees for more than a decade. They found the birds with better spatial learning and ...

A study of U.S. veterans found that their episodic visual memory, motor learning, and sustained visual attention improved after treatment for PTSD. The magnitude of these improvements was associated ...
