The hippocampus is one of the most fascinating brain regions ... there is still a lot we do not understand about them due to the high complexity of interacting parts, from individual synapses and the ...

Scientists at EPFL’s Blue Brain Project, together with collaborators and contributors all over the world have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and ...

How hippocampal cells encode space during development is not well understood. Using longitudinal calcium imaging, the authors show that a subset of place cells early in development consistently ...

But have you ever wondered what's actually going on in your brain when you have anxiety? A lot of it comes down to chemicals.

The claustrum complex, a small yet powerful region in the brain, has intrigued scientists for years. Found across mammalian ...

The hippocampus is a critical brain region involved in memory formation and spatial navigation. Understanding its complex structure and function has been a significant challenge for neuroscientists.

For many years, researchers in Graybiel’s lab have been trying to solve that mystery. Their previous work revealed that striosomes receive much of their input from parts of the brain that process ...

For example, a slightly smaller hippocampus, the structure responsible ... that larger regional brain volumes (the size of specific parts of the brain) are associated with a higher risk of ...

Experience governs neurogenesis from radial-glial neural stem cells (RGLs) in the adult hippocampus to support memory. Transcription factors (TFs) in RGLs integrate physiological signals to dictate ...

Here we illuminate a novel neural system regulating higher-order aspects of feeding through which the gut-derived hormone ghrelin communicates with ventral hippocampus (vHP) neurons to stimulate ...
