The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...

Researchers in the Jonas group at ISTA applied this question to the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for memory ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

Full at birth: Researchers found newborn mouse hippocampal networks are densely and randomly connected, not empty as previously thought. Pruning with age: Connections become sparser and more organized ...

Previously, they developed an optogenetic approach that uses light to temporarily deactivate CaMKII. With this tool in hand, the team set out to use light to block short-term memory formation in a ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Why do memories fade in Alzheimer's disease—and can they be restored? University of California, Irvine researchers have ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...
