Its pyramidal neurons (PNs) form the largest known autoassociative network in nature, an immense matrix of memories that can ...

The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...

A new study reveals how the brain's memory centre becomes more efficient with age, shedding excess connections to sharpen ...

The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories into long-term ones, helping us retain and build upon our experiences.

The human brain's advanced cognitive capabilities are often attributed to our recently evolved neocortex. Comparison of human and rodent brains shows that the human cortex is thicker, contains more ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

What am I looking at? These images are a series of 1-millimeter-thick slices from front to back through the brain of a mouse, with ChAT neurons (1) in purple and pyramidal neurons (2) in green. The ...

The brain is constantly mapping the external world like a GPS, even when we don't know about it. This activity comes in the form of tiny electrical signals sents between neurons -- specialized cells ...
