Classically, pyramidal cells of the hippocampus are viewed as flexibly representing spatial and non-spatial information. Recent work has illustrated distinct types of hippocampal excitatory neurons, ...

Experiments were performed on wild-type mice or on a transgenic mouse line (FVB-Tg(GadGFP)45704Swn/J) in which in a subset of SOM-INs expresses the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP [33]).

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while we are resting, according to a new study in mice by University College ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...
