Damage to the hippocampus leads to trouble forming new memories of the time or location of an event. Impaired blood flow and the ensuing lack of oxygen, as occurs in a stroke, is one way the ...

The hippocampus and amygdala work in concert to consolidate our emotions and long-term memories. This process is critical for evaluating information in order to respond appropriately to situations ...

The hippocampus and the orbitofrontal cortex ... hippocampal representations recorded just before an animal initiated a journey encoded paths that led to the next location the animal would visit 37.

Hippocampus and spatial navigation. One of the major functions of hippocampus is forming cognitive map, which is a type of mental representation related to acquisition, coding, storing, recalling ...

Researchers have discovered that the hippocampus creates a vector-based representation to support animals to make optimal navigation decisions. The researchers report results which go a long way ...

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 ...

By perturbing a region of the hippocampus, the researchers were able to scramble the sequence of neurons firing along that path. When asleep, the neurons failed to fire in sequence to solidify the ...

Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at University College London have discovered that the hippocampus creates a vector-based representation to support animals to make optimal navigation ...

NEW YORK — Cells in a brain structure known as the hippocampus are known to be cartographers, drawing mental maps of physical space. But new studies show that this seahorse-shaped hook of neural ...
