Various cells of the thalamus, hippocampus, and the medial entorhinal cortex plays a crucial role in spatial navigation ability. The highlighting of these cells and the understanding of their functioning by John O'Keefe, May-Britt and Edvard Moser have earned them the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology in 2014. The vision, olfaction, and the vestibular system contribute to this complex system. These observations may well explain why patients with vestibular disorder complain of spatial disorientation, often a source of deep anxiety.
丘脑、海马体和内嗅皮层的各种细胞在空间导航能力中起着至关重要的作用。约翰·奥基夫、梅-布里特和爱德华·莫泽对这些细胞的突出研究以及对其功能的理解，使他们获得了2014年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。视觉、嗅觉和前庭系统都对这个复杂的系统有贡献。这些观察结果很可能解释了为什么前庭功能障碍患者会抱怨空间定向障碍，这往往是深度焦虑的一个来源。
