Brain Circuits for Spatial Memory and Navigation Identified

Summary: Researchers have identified two neural circuits in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) that are critical for spatial navigation and memory storage. The M2-projecting pathway links spatial thought to action, while the AD-projecting pathway supports location-specific memory. Using advanced mapping techniques, the team found that inhibiting these circuits impaired object-location memory…
