Test your visual-spatial ability. Spatial IQ allows you to imagine, manipulate, and navigate objects in your mind. Individuals with a high spatial IQ are able to create and navigate detailed mental ...

Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.

In the realm of memories, "where" holds special importance. Where did I leave my keys? Where did I eat dinner last night? Where did I first meet that friend? Recalling locations is necessary for daily ...

Stanford scientists found that aging disrupts the brain’s internal navigation system in mice, mirroring spatial memory decline in humans. Older mice struggled to recall familiar locations, while a few ...

We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...

Microscopy image of the mouse hippocampi showing, in green, neuronal connections that act as a “bridge” between both hemispheres. These projections originate from neurons in the right CA1 region and ...

Virtual reality reveals that curiosity is key in shaping our spatial memory and mental map formation, finds new research by Cardiff University and Royal Holloway, University of London. By using ...
