--
Whether you identify as a wayfinding whiz or get lost returning from the grocery store, your brain has a built-in navigation system that facilitates spatial skills, from sensing which direction is north to map-reading and route-learning. So, why do we still struggle to find our way? And why do some of us find ourselves lost more often than others? Oliver Baumann digs into our sense of direction.
