Physical and imagined movement through real-world environments may use the same neural mechanism in the brain, suggests a Nature Human Behaviour paper. The findings might help us to better understand ...

These so-called concept neurons have so far only been found in humans, and only in the medial temporal lobe, which is essential for memory formation. An international research team led by Prof.

Producing and storing an episodic memory crucially depends on two parts of the brain, the medial temporal lobes and the frontal lobes.” The medial temporal cortex (the inner part of the brain ...

Federally funded research at Johns Hopkins offers new avenues for detecting brain disease long before it strikes ...

The brain’s medial temporal lobe, including structures such as the hippocampus, is thought to play a significant role. Other areas, including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and the parietal ...

Brain waves in the medial temporal lobe during real-world and imagined navigation are similarly structured, which underpins the parallels between physical and mental wayfinding. The temporal order ...
