The study included two groups of young adults—one carrying the Alzheimer’s gene variant, one without it—neither of which showed symptoms of the disease. The participants were asked to navigate a virtual space (a large circular area with blue sky and mountains in the distance) while completing simple tasks like picking up basketballs and returning them to the same place later in the experiment. As the participants completed these navigational tasks, the researchers monitored their brain activity with fMRI.   As suspected, brains of the participants carrying the Alzheimer’s gene variant showed less activity in their grid cell networks compared to the other group. Strangely, though, both groups performed equally well with the virtual arena tasks, although the way the groups navigated the space was different. The group with less grid cell activity tended to stay along the edges of the virtual space, while the other group used the entire space to navigate.   The fMRI scan also showed an uptick of activity in the hippocampus—a brain region near the entorhinal cortex that plays a role in memory formation—in the brains of participants with less grid cell activity, which seems to indicate that their brains recruited the hippocampus to help with navigation. “This suggests that you can either use the grid cell system or you can use the hippocampus,” according to neuroscientist Nikolai Axmacher, one of the study’s authors, as reported in Science.
