Can You Give Yourself a Better Sense of Direction?

The video explores human navigation, comparing it to rats' neural systems. It highlights the role of grid, place, head direction, and border cells in navigation. Human studies, especially involving epilepsy patients, show similar brain cell activity. The hippocampus is crucial for navigation, with its size linked to better skills. Experience can alter hippocampus size, as seen in taxi drivers. Practicing navigation, especially without GPS, can improve skills, though the best methods are still under study.
