The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...
A mouse pup is born with its hippocampus already buzzing with connections. Not a few tentative links between neighboring ...
Its pyramidal neurons (PNs) form the largest known autoassociative network in nature, an immense matrix of memories that can ...
The brain’s memory center may begin life more like a crowded web than an empty canvas. Researchers discovered that early ...
The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...
The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...
Neurons filled with biocytin—a tracer that labels them during recording—are fixed and stained to allow full reconstruction of ...
The human brain's advanced cognitive capabilities are often attributed to our recently evolved neocortex. Comparison of human and rodent brains shows that the human cortex is thicker, contains more ...
A new study reveals how the brain's memory centre becomes more efficient with age, shedding excess connections to sharpen ...
Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...
