A team led by the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has identified a brain circuit ...

Microscopy image of the mouse hippocampi showing, in green, neuronal connections that act as a “bridge” between both hemispheres. These projections originate from neurons in the right CA1 region and ...

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...

Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.

A recent study by UCLA researchers offers new insight into how the brain makes sense of sequences of experiences, and it may have implications for treating certain memory disorders. The study, ...

Usually, forgetting where you put your coffee cup down doesn’t have a major impact on the rest of your life – you can easily retrieve another cup of coffee (and find the other one later, in a cabinet ...
