🧠 Our new (NIH funded!) paper reveals how the brain creates internal dynamics during both real- and imagined navigation. We recorded directly from the human hippocampus as participants moved through physical space and when they mentally navigated imagined routes.

A study in Nature Human Behaviour suggests that physical and imagined movement through real-world environments may use the same neural mechanism in the brain. The findings might help us to better understand human memory in real-world settings. https://go.nature.com/3R1FmPO 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows the experimental paradigm.

These findings shed light on the brain waves that help us find our ways, imagine scenarios, and recollect episodic memories. In summary, these neural dynamics may be relevant for supporting experiences that are detached from the here and now.

The fascinating result? Similar neural patterns emerge in both scenarios! The hippocampal theta oscillations we observed encode spatial information even when we imagine moving along specific spatial routes.
