Researchers identify the key region in the brain for navigating familiar places

摘要

University College London (UCL) scientists have discovered the key region in the brain for navigating well-known places, helping to explain why brain damage seen in early stages of Alzheimer's disease can cause such severe disorientation. The study, published in April in Cerebral Cortex (2019), is the first to identify the specific brain regions used in guiding navigation of familiar places.
