Abstract: What is the mental computation that's involved in getting from one place to another? To study this, one group used positron emission tomography to map the areas of the brain that were activated as people navigated their way around a familiar, yet complex, virtual-reality town. By doing this, the authors have been able to construct a map of the regions of the brain that support navigation in humans.
