Newly trained navigation and verbal memory skills elicit changes in task-related networks but not brain structure

Li Juan Zheng, Zachary Boogaart, Andrew S. McAvan…·Steven Marc Weisberg

This study shows that cognitive training in navigation or verbal memory does not change brain structure but alters functional network connectivity.

Age differences in spatial memory are mitigated during naturalistic navigation

Paul F. Hill, Skyelynn Bermudez, Andrew S. McAvan…·Arne D. Ekstrom

This study shows that age differences in spatial memory are reduced when tested in a naturalistic virtual reality environment compared to a desktop-based one.

Frontal-midline theta and posterior alpha oscillations index early processing of spatial representations during active navigation

Yu Karen Du, Mingli Liang, Andrew S. McAvan…·Arne D. Ekstrom

The paper investigates whether spatial navigation involves parallel or serial processing of self-motion and landmark cues using EEG oscillations during virtual navigation.
