The new method, which is described in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, could be very useful for investigating how [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=neurophilosophy.wordpress.com&amp;blog=154339&amp;post=2898&amp;subd=neurophilosophy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

We use visual information to note the location of landmarks, and to identify and negotiate obstacles. These visual cues also enable us to keep track of our movements, by monitoring how our position changes relative to landmarks [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=neurophilosophy.wordpress.com&amp;blog=154339&amp;post=2896&amp;subd=neurophilosophy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Researchers routinely implant electrode arrays into the brains of rodents to investigate the neuronal activity associated with spatial navigation, or into monkeys&#8217; brains to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of motor [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=neurophilosophy.wordpress.com&amp;blog=154339&amp;post=2894&amp;subd=neurophilosophy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
