The act of remapping an area can be mathematically modeled as probabilistic reasoning in rodents.
A new study reveals how patterns of neural activity in the retrosplenial cortex assist with navigation and spatial memory.
Using a chocolatey reward, researchers discover how rats form some memories.
Hippocampal neurons that store abstract memories of prior experiences activate when new, but similar events take place.
A new study looks how it may be possible to help reduce trauma associated with bad memories while we sleep.
Researchers report on how memories formed in one area of the brain are replayed and transferred to a different area during rest.
A new study reveals how neurons in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampal neurons work together to help guide future learning.
SCN2A, a gene commonly associated with intellectual ability, plays an essential role in memory formation and replay, a new study reports.
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.
According to researchers, memories are more like separate but connected “snapshots” in the brain than uninterrupted video reels.
