However, many parts of the brain or cortex are not fully active if external simulations aren’t present. [Related: Why do jump scares terrify us so much? Blame evolution.] In the new study, the team ...

The world around us is beyond complicated. One theory of how the brain deals with this complexity is by creating cognitive maps. In part one, we discussed the underlying ideas behind cognitive maps ...
