The study offers compelling in vivo evidence that a specific group of excitatory glutamatergic neurons plays a key role in acquiring motor and sensory/emotional behaviors.Read More
FeaturedNeuroscience·November 6, 2022·6 min readA Novel Instructive Role for the Entorhinal CortexResearchers have identified a new type of synaptic plasticity they call behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP). The study reveals how the entorhinal cortex sends instructive signals to the hippocampus and directs it to specifically reorganize the specific location and activity of a neural subset to achieve altered behavior in response to changes in environment and spatial cues.Read More
