Movement ecology seeks to unravel the mechanisms by which animals navigate complex and changing environments, combining internal physiological states with external factors such as resource ...

A wild chickadee study shows monogamous females cheat with males that have superior spatial memory to secure survival genes for chicks.

Female mountain chickadees seek extra-pair mates with sharper spatial memory than their partner, boosting their chicks' survival odds.

Across species, spatial memory declines with age, possibly reflecting altered hippocampal and medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) function. However, the integrity of cellular and network-level spatial ...

It’s lunchtime, and you and your friend are hungry. You venture into the kitchen and make your favorite sandwich—peanut butter and jelly. You assume your friend can make the same thing, but they have ...

Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.
