A new study reveals how brain circuits between the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus stabilize memories during learning.

The study shows that communication between the entorhinal cortex and the hippocampus’s CA3 region helps mice form stable maps of places.

A research team has discovered new neural circuits that regulate spatial learning and memory in the brain's hippocampal formation. The team identified novel functional roles of new circuit connections ...

In the late 19th century German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus published an influential book exploring memory and learning. Ebbinghaus was the first to chronicle a learning phenomenon which became ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveal that astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain, play a direct role in the regulation of neuronal circuits involved in learning and memory. The ...

Scientists have created the first detailed wiring diagram of an insect brain. The brain, from a fruit fly larva, contained 3016 neurons connected by 548,000 synapses, the team reported Thursday in the ...

In our age of information overload, remembering things can be a daunting task. But as a memory researcher and college professor, I’ve found some hope in that challenge. In January 2021, like millions ...

The non-sugar, low-calorie sweetener aspartame has been linked to potential problems with memory and learning, according to a study from the Florida State University (FSU) College of Medicine. In the ...
