Recently, the researchers identified two distinct subpopulations of mitral/tufted (M/T) cells within the OB that project to the anterior piriform cortex (aPC) and entorhinal cortex (EC). These neural ...

As per a statement by UCLA, this mechanism operates in the entorhinal cortex, a part of the brain crucial for learning and memory, and where Alzheimer’s disease begins. UCLA Health researchers ...

Overview: I use a variety of electrophysiological and pharmacological techniques to examine how short- and long-term alterations in the strength of synapses occur, and how these changes may contribute ...

Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), the National Institute of Information and ...

The hippocampal formation also includes the entorhinal cortex. As part of the limbic system, the hippocampus is involved in memory encoding and storage. Our study investigated brain waves in ...

Led by researchers from NYU Langone Health, the work found that a circuit known to carry messages from a brain region that processes sensory information, the entorhinal cortex (EC), to the memory ...

Older women who take menopausal hormone therapy may be at a higher risk of Alzheimer's. A study published in Science Advances on Wednesday found faster accumulation of tau proteins – implicated in ...

Other examples of these cells are place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex, both of ...

HealthDay News — For older women, menopausal hormone therapy (HT) use is associated with faster regional tau accumulation, according to a study published in the March 5 issue of Science Advances.

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new, and important or just "background noise." Led by ...
