A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Human navigation turns out to be less like following a static map and more like tuning a control knob inside the brain. New ...

The hippocampus forms part of the cerebral cortex and is found in all vertebrates. This structure has a long evolutionary history, over which some features have been conserved, such as its connection ...

What Is the Limbic System? The limbic system is a part of the brain consisting of several components such as the hippocampus and amygdala and serving many functions within the body. While we have a ...

Comprehensive knowledge of the architecture of neuronal networks lies at the basis of understanding their functions. Although the anatomical connections between and within the hippocampal formation ...

A new brain imaging study shows that the hippocampus is the brain's storyteller, connecting separate, distant events into a single narrative. People love stories. We find it easier to remember events ...

The size of the part of the brain known as the hippocampus may be linked to future dementia, reveals new research from Sweden. The size of the part of the brain known as the hippocampus may be linked ...

Too much activity in the hippocampus may cause navigation impairments seen in aging adults, according to new research published in JNeurosc Spatial navigation is one of the cognitive abilities that ...

It's thought that the process of writing a working memory into the long-term memory store is largely controlled by a seahorse-shaped set of neurons in the brain called the hippocampus. How and where ...

An attractive way to think of the brain is as an atlas of the mind. Continents of brain cells are given monikers such as “emotion” and “perception.” Within them, independent countries go by names such ...
