Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific ...

The size of the hippocampus, an important structure in the brain's memory circuit, is typically measured as one method to determine the integrity of the memory circuit. However, the shape of this ...

Circuits within the hippocampal formation are active during memory processing. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine multiple sites across the long axis of the ...

When we have a new experience, the memory of that event is stored in a neural circuit that connects several parts of the hippocampus and other brain structures.

07 Feb 2007. A new kid on the block often injects vim and vigor into stale routines. New neurons in old brains might do the same. In the February 4 Nature Neuroscience online, Paul Frankland and ...

“It challenges the notion that there’s a movement of the memory trace from the hippocampus to the cortex, and makes the point that these circuits are engaged together at the same time. As the memories ...

In the early 1990s, scientists identified the basic wiring of this brain circuit. With these earlier studies, scientists thought that the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex were connected by ...

Paranoia. Munchies. Giggles. Sleepiness. Memory loss. Although the effects of cannabinoids–the active components of marijuana–are familiar to many, their neurobiological substrates are poorly ...

“We hypothesized that the hippocampus leverages distinct circuit mechanisms to balance the increase in firing rates during memory consolidation,” the team continued. The hippocampus is divided ...
