Human navigation turns out to be less like following a static map and more like tuning a control knob inside the brain. New ...

A brain-scan study reveals key components of the brain's navigation system, which may help us better understand early ...

Navigating a busy street, a new city, or even your own home requires more than just memory of landmarks. Deep inside your brain, specialized networks act like a compass, constantly recalibrating so ...

Accessing the brain for neurosurgery involves drilling and cutting that can cause deep-brain anatomy to shift or become distorted. This can create discrepancies between pre-operative imaging and the ...

A team of engineers and physicists at CU Boulder discovered a way to transform atoms into tiny compasses by using their natural behavior to measure the orientation of surrounding magnetic fields. The ...

In 2023, Intel announced a new achievement on AI-empowered advancing precision medicine and Wincomm was invited to demonstrate AI-based brain surgical and GI endoscopy solutions to our TW partners, ...

The potassium channel KCNQ3 is required for our brain to generate accurate spatial maps. In mice, defects in KCNQ3 function have measurable effects on the internal navigation system. The potassium ...

Before a person is even born, the brain has undergone intense expansion and growth in its complexity. This dramatic development continues into the first years of childhood. After an early boom period, ...

The brain is the “control center” of the body. Together with the spinal cord, it makes up the central nervous system. Various parts of the brain are responsible for movement, breathing, and other ...
