A new study explored how the hippocampus and insula interact during the encoding of emotional memories in humans.

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

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating ...

Scientists have discovered how the brain generates predictions of what it might experience next. They found that the hippocampus is responsible for sending signals to the visual cortex to predict what ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that the hippocampus helps to shape future behavior via two connected processes, known as memory composition and hippocampal replay.

Babies encode memories, but they’re unable to recall them later in life, a new study shows. This finding offers insight into the learning and recall process.

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them.

A team of scientists from the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes ...

Find out more about the hippocampus's role in memory processing and learn about diseases that affect this important brain structure.

The hippocampus has long been appreciated as crucial for long-term memory processes, and both neuropsychological studies and neuroimaging studies have placed particular emphasis on the role of the ...

Faster shrinkage in the hippocampus was associated with faster cognitive decline. When researchers looked at all of the biomarkers, they found that hippocampus atrophy was associated with ...
