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.

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 ...

This study illustrates the spatiotemporal dynamics of neuron subtype changes within the entorhinal cortex–hippocampal circuit during Alzheimer’s disease progression. EC-stellate neurons progressively ...

Researchers found that mental representations known as cognitive maps, located in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, are activated when the brain performs mental simulations of a navigational ...
