This study examined the important question of how neurons code temporal information across the hippocampus, dorsal striatum, and orbitofrontal cortex. Using a behavioral task in the rat that requires ...

In a new study, researchers have developed a comprehensive in silico model of the rat hippocampal CA1 region. This model is ...

Researchers find that rats create neurological maps of places to avoid after experiencing a threat and think about these locations when exhibiting worry-related behaviors. These findings may provide ...

deprived group), and investigated the development of pre-configured and plastic sequential neural patterns in the hippocampus, compared to rats reared in Euclidean cuboidal cages (nature + nurture ...

This important study assessed the effects of food intake on sharp wave-ripples in the hippocampus of mice during subsequent sleep. Solid evidence supports the conclusion that sharp wave-ripples are ...

Some of the rats in the experiment were implanted with probes to monitor the hippocampus, part of the brain thought to be involved in learning and memory. The researchers specifically focused on ...

Exercise may positively influence the interactions between brain cells in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in ...
