Researchers found that mental representations known as cognitive maps, located in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, are activated when the brain performs mental simulations of a navigational ...

This study illustrates the spatiotemporal dynamics of neuron subtype changes within the entorhinal cortex–hippocampal circuit during Alzheimer’s disease progression. EC-stellate neurons progressively ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and ...
