New article! How do the irregular boundaries in our environment shape our spatial memory? We show both distortion and facilitation, marked individual differences, and an account of why @gt-neuro.bsky.social @gtsciences.bsky.social @crane-navsci.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Environment geometry alters sequential route learning and its integration into cognitive maps - Nature Communications
Theories disagree whether environments with irregular layouts impair spatial memory or help us stay oriented. The authors show that spatial memory can be enhanced or disrupted depending on where we ar...

Harmonized Protocol for Subfield Segmentation in the Hippocampal Body on High‐Resolution In Vivo MRI From the Hippocampal Subfields Group (HSG)
Hippocampal subfields differentially develop and age, and they vary in vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases. Innovation in high-resolution imaging has accelerated clinical research on human hi....
