A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain's memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

The “missing link” helps adults grow new neurons—something long thought to end after childhood—and that discovery could lead ...

The hippocampus forms part of the cerebral cortex and is found in all vertebrates. This structure has a long evolutionary history, over which some features have been conserved, such as its ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

The hippocampus, a skinny log of brain tissue tucked in deep above your ear, is the star of memory research. People with damaged hippocampi — such as the famous patient Henry Molaison, known as ...

People love stories. We find it easier to remember events when they are part of an overarching narrative. But in real life, the chapters of a story don’t follow smoothly one from another. Other things ...

Without an intact hippocampus, forming new memories is impossible. Researchers from Arizona State University and Stanford University found an equally important role for the hippocampus: feeding ...

The hippocampus can form active memories very quickly, while the cortex takes care of long-term stability,” Tonegawa explains. “If you don’t need prolonged memory, ...
