James Ainge

scientist United Kingdom

Professor James Ainge is a prominent neuroscientist at the University of St Andrews, known for his groundbreaking research on the brain's navigation and memory systems. His recent study revealed the existence of an internal 'mileage clock' in the brain, which is essential for accurately estimating distances traveled. By conducting experiments with both rats and humans, Ainge demonstrated that the brain's ability to gauge distance is linked to specific brain cells known as grid cells. His work not only enhances our understanding of cognitive processes but also has potential implications for diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease.
