Spatial navigation is a complex mental task which is strongly dependent upon memory. As we make our way around a new environment, we look for easily recognisable landmarks and try to remember how their locations are related in space, so that when we return to it we can negotiate our path.
We know that spatial representations are encoded in the medial temporal lobe, and numerous studies implicate the hippocampus in particular as being crucial for the formation of spatial memories. Information about the environment is believed to be encoded by large populations of neurons distributed throughout this part of the brain, but little is known about this information is encoded.
Now researchers from UCL have made a significant advance in our understanding of how spatial memories are encoded. In a paper published online today in the journal Current Biology, they report that they can decode the activity of the hippocampus to accurately predict an individual's exact location within a simple virtual reality environment.

/////////////////A red-wine polyphenol called resveratrol demonstrates significant health benefits
Resveratrol shows therapeutic potential for cancer chemoprevention as well as cardioprotection. Resveratrol may aid in the prevention of age-related disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Low doses of resveratrol improve cell survival as a component of cardio- and neuro-protection, while high doses increase cell death.

//////////////////Pronunciation: [pe-rê-gri-'ney-shên]
Definition: A long, meandering journey or walk; a course of travel.
Usage: Because it implies travel over a long period of time to various places, today's word is often used in the plural: "His European peregrinations left Dirk physically exhausted and speaking with an undeterminable accent." This noun is derived from the verb "peregrinate" which is based on the adjective peregrine "foreign; migratory, traveling."
