Researchers report osterocalcin, a naturally occurring hormone, can help boost memory in aging mice. The findings pave the way for new treatments to help stave off, and possibly reverse memory loss in humans.
A new study reports participating in light physical activity, such as yoga or tai chi, can help to increase connectivity between brain areas responsible for memory formation and storage.
Researchers report newborn granule cells in the dentate gyrus become less excitable after three weeks. The loss of excitability is crucial for the functioning of mature neurons.
A new mouse study finds APOE genes, commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease, impairs the development of new neurons in areas of the brain associated with memory.
A new study reports mossy cells in the dentate gyrus help control neurogenesis and may play a role in common brain disorders.
Researchers have identified neurons in the dentate gyrus that help to reprogram lasting traumatic memories.
Researchers have identified the role Klf9 plays in the brain's response to stress. The study reports elevated levels of the protein were discovered in the hippocampus of women with MDD who faced stressful events.
Researchers have created a new model that may help explain how the brain stores memories of tangible events. The new model explains how neural activity in the hippocampus can help map space, time and context in episodic memories.
Researchers have identified a novel role the RGS14 protein plays in limiting synaptic plasticity.
A new study reports, contrary to popular belief, place cells in the dentate gyrus do not remap. Instead, memory discrimination is controlled by increased co-firing of place cells and the neurons that organize which place cells discharge.
Using stem cells to generate a partial model of the brain, researchers discover how communication between neurons is altered in those with Schizophrenia.
Researchers reveal specific parts of the hippocampus may play a key role in emotional regulation.
