I've never had a great sense f directin. And I ften wander int shps and, upn cming back ut, can't remember which way I've cme frm—left r right? Many peple are like me, and why d sme cnstantly have n idea where they are?
The hippcampus(海马体) is a regin f the brain assciated with memry and invlved in sense f directin. And a nearby regin. has als been assciated with sense f directin.There are fur knwn types f navigatin-related neurns(神经元), fund in these regins:place cells, grid cells, brder cells and head directin cells.
In shrt, yu can think f place cells as an internal. cgnitive(认知的) map; they identify where yu are. Grid cells are like a GPS system in ur brain; they tell us abut the relatinship f this place t ther places we've been t. Brder cells respnd t the presence f envirnmental bundaries at a specific directin and distance frm us. Lastly, head directin cells are activated when ur head faces a specific directin. These cells will fire electrical impulses when we enter familiar lcatins, with each grup f cells relating t a specific place.
Our reliance n GPS and smartphnes may have decreased the ability t use ur internal maps.Older adults wh regularly used GPS had less activity in their hippcampus, cmpared with thse wh did nt use GPS. They als perfrmed slightly wrse in a cgnitin test. In cntrast, a study invlving Lndn taxi drivers fund they significantly larger hippcampus than rdinary peple.
Yu can imprve yur way-finding ability specifically by practicing the skill, accrding t Aziz, PhD f neurlgy at Temple University Schl f Medicine.“The mre yu get ut and g t places, the better,”he says. Physical exercise imprves the bld flw t the brain,while mental exercise, such as ding puzzles r learning a new language, stimulates the develpment f new nerve cells and. cnnectins in yur brain.
