A new study reports the hippocampus puts events into sequence by changing the neural code in the rat brain. Read More
Neural activity in the entorhinal cortex is correlated with place-based memories. The findings shed new light on how the brain processes spatial memory. Read More
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. Read More
The Who asked “who are you?” but Dartmouth neurobiologist Jeffrey Taube “where are you?” and “where are you going?” Taube is not asking philosophical or theological questions. He is investigating nerve cells in the brain that function in establishing one’s location and direction. Read More
According to researchers, memories are more like separate but connected “snapshots” in the brain than uninterrupted video reels. Read More
Researchers report the horizontal canals in the vestibular system play a key role in helping us sense our direction. Read More
A new study sheds light into a possible cause of learning difficulties in Down syndrome. Read More
Grid cells have been found in the presubiculum and parasubiculum of the rat brain. Read More
Switching between operational modes occurs dynamically according to the demands of the task at hand, a new study reports. Read More
OLM cells in the hippocampus play a key role in risk taking behavior and anxiety, researchers report. Read More
Using a model commonly used in machine learning, researchers discover how the brain encodes spatial maps and stores information while at rest. Read More
