Since their discovery in 2004, the grid cells in the brain, which are important for our orientation, have been regarded as a kind of "GPS in the head." However, scientists at the German Cancer ...

UCSF scientists have developed a “molecular GPS” to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue. It is the first living cell therapy that can navigate through the ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across millions of years of evolution. A new University of Michigan study suggests ...

Researchers at Princeton found that brain cells known to be involved in making maps of the external environment, collectively known as the brain's "GPS," are also active in representing other tasks ...

Newswise — Dr. Hyuk-June Moon from the Bionics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), in collaboration with Prof. Olaf Blanke’s team at the Swiss Federal Institute of ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer’s disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across millions of years of evolution. A new study suggests these neurons are vital ...

Navigation has typically involved something more technical than biological, especially in relation to traversing and remembering spaces. From compass and map to astrolabe and the Global Positioning ...
