Why is my sense of direction so bad?
The hippocampus is a region of the brain associated with memory and involved in sense of direction. A nearby region, the entorhinal cortex has also been associated with sense of direction. New research has shown that people with weaker signals in the entorhinal cortex struggle with navigating a virtual environment.
