The entorhinal cortex (EC) plays a pivotal role in memory function and spatial navigation, connecting the hippocampus with the neocortex. The EC integrates a wide range of cortical and subcortical ...

Writing in Nature, they describe how neurons in the entorhinal cortex can respond to short stimuli with sustained increases or decreases in their firing rate, and how consecutive stimuli can ...

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 ...

According to this model, place cells, along with grid cells found in the entorhinal cortex, act as a scaffold that can be used to anchor memories as a linked series. "This model is a first-draft ...

The scientists focused on the entorhinal cortex, a region that acts as a relay station between the hippocampus—the brain's learning and memory center—and the medial prefrontal cortex ...

"The same hippocampal and entorhinal circuits are used not just ... which is stored in the synapses between the hippocampus and the sensory cortex. When the memory is triggered later from ...

We examined the association between vulnerability to financial exploitation and thickness of a brain region called the entorhinal cortex – which is affected very early by Alzheimer’s disease ...

The yellow in the anterolateral entorhinal cortex of the young brain indicates significant activity, something that is absent in the older brain. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

The researchers used a high-powered MRI to examine the brains of 97 study participants, ages 52 to 83, focusing on the thickness of this region, known as the entorhinal cortex. According to the ...

We examined the association between vulnerability to financial exploitation and thickness of a brain region called the ...
