How does our brain remember the way home?

Science has conducted a new study and found a way to help our brain remember the way. They found that playing a GPS navigational role is the Theta wave, a type of wave that is specific to the bioelectric activity of the brain.

It is this kind of wave that helps us remember the places we have been. Scientists have worked with patients with epilepsy.

Theta waves help us remember the places we have been.

Experts install them electrodes to control the brain, which records the activity of nerve cells in the task of navigating in virtual reality.

During the experiment, epilepsy patients learned how to bind individual objects to specific places in a virtual environment. The brain creates unique properties for each object and location.

Within the framework of the experiment, participants were asked to establish correspondence between objects and locations. When they move to different places in the virtual environment, the brain activates the selected activity model for that location.

Experiments were performed at different times to accurately assess brain activity. The Theta wave, which changes the speed of the brain slowing down to about four hertz, seems to play an important role in the navigation process.

This scientific work helps to understand the mechanism of formation of many diseases affecting memory and memory. Scientists hope that these developments will help identify new biomarkers for similar neurological disorders.
