Two types of neurons in the hippocampus either store memories for sugar or drive fat cravings, shaping food intake and diet-induced weight gain.

Lesions that cause secondary psychosis were most functionally similar to lesions that cause amnesia, though lesions that cause amnesia were more likely to be in the brain’s left hemisphere while ...

Researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus have developed a new way to map how individual connections between neurons change across the entire brain during learning, giving scientists a new view into how changes in behavior show up in the brain.

In a study published in Nature Communications on February 12, the pair along with other researchers in the UBC Faculty of Medicine discovered a new type of brain cell called ovoid cells that play a key role in our ability to recognize and remember objects.

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss. Using advanced genetic tools, 3D electron microscopy, and artificial intelligence,

A new study reveals that the thalamus, long overshadowed by the cortex and hippocampus, plays a crucial role in shaping and updating brain connections.

This image shows an AI-assisted nanoscale 3D reconstruction of neuronal synapses in the mouse hippocampus ... task and examined the hippocampus region of the brain about 1 week later.

They used immunostaining to identify the direction of the cilia, or cell antennae, on the neurons in the postnatal layers of the mouse brain, such as the hippocampus and neocortex. They focused on ...

Years ago, as a neurology resident, Chinfei Chen, MD, PhD, cared for a 20-year-old woman who had experienced a very small stroke, affecting only the thalamus.
