Mouse study reveals chronic stress affects neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.
Deficits in the dentate gyrus function that causes memory problems may be associated with epileptic seizures a new study reports. The abnormal activity leads to over-extinction, spurring on seizures.
A gene regulated called Id4 appears to be a key component in controlling stem cell proliferation.
The findings support a continuous model of neurogenesis throughout development and adulthood.
A specialized area of the mouse brain called the SuM specializes in detecting novel experiences. Within this brain area, responses to social novelty, or experiences related to unknown individuals, were segregated from those related to unfamiliar places, before being sent to areas of the brain associated with memory.
Using laboratory mice, researchers show anesthesia's neurotoxic effects depend upon the age of the neurons in the brain and not the age of the animal undergoing anesthesia.
Researchers explore synaptic mechanisms of rhythmic brain waves thanks to custom designed tools.
According to new research, stress induced depression may be overcome by inducing neurons which were activated during previous positive experiences.
A new Nature Communications study sheds light on how the brain processes information relevant to memory.
Summary: Using three different types of brain imaging, the researchers found evidence of the three types of changes in the...
A new study reveals the role two Pumilio genes, PUM1, and PUM2, play in the creation of new neurons in the dentate gyrus.
Researchers use virtual reality to discover how the brain assembles contextual memories.
