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.
A new study reveals how patterns of neural activity in the retrosplenial cortex assist with navigation and spatial memory.
A neuroimaging study reveals response learners show a decrease in hippocampal gray matter after playing action based video games for 90 hours.
Researchers find genetic clues as to how mice lay down spatial memories.
Researchers target the cortical hippocampal network with non-invasive brain stimulation to help improve precise memory.
According to a new study, probiotics may help to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients.
Researchers have developed a new theory of how developmental math disability occurs.
Researchers investigate how spatial memories are formed.
Contrary to an earlier study, researchers have discovered new hippocampal neurons formed as a result of exercise do not cause certain old memories to be forgotten.
Studying the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, researchers have discovered new information about how dysfunction of the circuit that connects the two areas may contribute to memory loss in Alzheimer's.
Protein shown to fuel exercise induced neurogenesis in mice also increases when humans run.
The prefrontal cortex goes goes through a rearrangement during adolescence, where it forms a significant number of new connections to the hippocampus, a new study reports.
