Mapping Time and Space: Neurons Decode Human Existence Dimensions
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
Summary: Researchers unveil how neurons in the brain depict time and space, fundamental to human consciousness.
Utilizing special depth electrodes, they studied patients undergoing treatment for epilepsy, revealing “place cells” for spatial awareness and “time cells” for temporal comprehension.
One study showed these cells operate independently yet concurrently during navigation tasks. Another found certain neurons maintained regular temporal patterns regardless of external stimuli speed.
