Using a line of genetically modified mice, researchers discover boosting acetylcholine can disturb cognitive function.
A group of neurons in the hippocampal formation sense which direction the head is pointed, a new study reports.
In the brains of adult mice, astrocytes coupling contributes to neural functioning in the hippocampus, an area of the brain associated with spatial memory and learning.
A new study sheds light on how learning the layout of a new environment and accessing the information from memory, is represented in the brain.
Vision appears to play a more dominant role than motor movements when it comes to encoding memory of large-scale spaces. The findings address a long-standing debate as to whether or not body movements aid the learning of physical spaces.
Researchers target the cortical hippocampal network with non-invasive brain stimulation to help improve precise memory.
People use geometrical relationships to help orient themselves, a new study reports.
A new study fills in major gaps in research about the brain's so-called 'GPS system'.
New findings from virtual reality study could help provide treatments for those with memory problems, study reports.
A new study reveals there is a genetic component to spatial memory in Mountain Chickadees.
Researchers report on the epigenetic effect of early life stress. In a new study, researchers reveal mice who experienced stress in the first few weeks of life showed deterioration in memory, learning and maternal behaviors. Behavioral changes were seen in their later offspring, regardless of sex.
Researchers show that object permanence abilities in cockatoos are at the same level of apes and four year old children.
