In a new study, researchers have developed a comprehensive in silico model of the rat hippocampal CA1 region. This model is unique as it integrates a wide range of experimental data, from the ...

“As the rat explores the whole environment, we can read the map that its hippocampus creates,” Lee says. The scientists then put the rats’ mental mapping skills to the test.

Moving bar of light evokes vectorial spatial selectivity in the immobile rat hippocampus. Nature , 2022; 602 (7897): 461 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-022-04404-x Cite This Page : ...

In the team’s system, the BMI produces a connection between the electrical activity in the rat’s hippocampus and its position in a 360-degree virtual reality arena.

These place cells are hippocampal neurons that are activated when the rat finds itself in a particular place—they play a role in orienting the animal to its environment.

Uteroplacental insufficiency (UPI) produces significant neurodevelopmental deficits affecting the hippocampus of intrauterine growth–restricted (IUGR) offspring. IUGR males have worse deficits ...

The hippocampus plays a crucial role in memory formation. ... Nov. 29, 2022 — Researchers have found that cells in the rat hippocampus -- a brain region that is essential for making memories ...

John O'Keefe of University College London used microelectrodes to monitor action potentials in rats in the hippocampus, an area of the brain known for decades to be important for memory functions.

These are rat hippocampal neurons in primary culture, showing a fluorescent soluble protein (left) and trajectories corresponding to the movement of the glutamate receptors on its surface ...

Place cells in the hippocampus fire when we are in a certain position—this discovery by John O'Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2014. Based on which ...
