Pyramidal cells in the CA2 region of the hippocampus are responsible for storing critical timing information. Read More
Interpreting computer code activates general-purpose brain networks, but not language processing areas. Read More
Study provides a new framework for investigating and formalizing the cognitive processes behind how humans use tools. Read More
Activity in the substantia nigra is similar following a day of social isolation as it is following a day of starvation. Read More
The decline of striosomal activity in the brain may explain why people lose the motivation to learn as they age. Read More
Researchers have identified a brain pathway between the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the inferior temporal cortex which enables primates to effortlessly identify objects in their field of vision. Read More
Engram cells encode details of memories as they are formed. These cells become reactivated when a memory is recalled. The process is controlled by remodeling of chromatin in the cells. Read More
