OLM cells in the hippocampus play a key role in risk taking behavior and anxiety, researchers report.
Using a model commonly used in machine learning, researchers discover how the brain encodes spatial maps and stores information while at rest.
SCN2A, a gene commonly associated with intellectual ability, plays an essential role in memory formation and replay, a new study reports.
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 a 'smell virtual landscape', researchers discover the mammalian brain can map our surroundings based on smells alone.
A new study looks how it may be possible to help reduce trauma associated with bad memories while we sleep.
Switching between operational modes occurs dynamically according to the demands of the task at hand, a new study reports.
A lack of adaptability in hippocampal place cells could be key to memory deficits in schizophrenia, researchers report.
A new study reveals how patterns of neural activity in the retrosplenial cortex assist with navigation and spatial memory.
A new study theorizes the development of grid cells depends upon the synaptic input from place cells.
A new study reports the hippocampus puts events into sequence by changing the neural code in the rat brain.
A new study reveals how neurons in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampal neurons work together to help guide future learning.
