Hello Everyone.

On page 8 of today's Times newspaper there is a small paragraph as a team of scientists from Durham University have found evidence of a new type of brain cell that is sensitive to distance and direction of objects and can store object locations on mental maps. They believe that damage to these cells may explain memory loss in some dementias.
