Journal Article
Tlauka, M., Carter, P., Mahlberg, T., & Wilson, P. N. (2011). The first-perspective alignment effect: The role of environmental complexity and familiarity with surroundings. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 64(11), 2236-2250. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2011.586710

People often remember relatively novel environments from the first perspective encountered or the first direction of travel. This initial perspective can determine a preferred orientation that facilitates the efficiency of spatial judgements at multi...

The brain and the gut are engaged in continual crosstalk along a number of pathways collectively termed the ‘brain–gut axis’. Over recent years it has become increasingly clear that dysregulation of the axis at a number of levels can result in disord...
