Rhythms In The Brain Help Give A Sense Of Location, Study Shows
Scientists have shed light on how mechanisms in the brain work to give us a sense of location. Research at the University of Edinburgh tracked electrical signals in the part of the brain linked to spatial awareness. The study could help us understand how, if we know a room, we can go into it with our eyes shut and find our way around. This is closely related to the way we map out how to get from one place to another. Scientists found that brain cells, which code location through increases in electrical activity, do not do so by talking directly to each other...
