When the brain encodes and consolidates memories, it often connects related experiences that happened in different places and ...

Why do memories fade in Alzheimer's disease—and can they be restored? University of California, Irvine researchers have ...

Researchers discovered that an 80% drop in dopamine causes Alzheimer's memory loss. Restoring dopamine with Levodopa rescued ...

This study illustrates the spatiotemporal dynamics of neuron subtype changes within the entorhinal cortex–hippocampal circuit during Alzheimer’s disease progression. EC-stellate neurons progressively ...

Researchers found that mental representations known as cognitive maps, located in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, are activated when the brain performs mental simulations of a navigational ...

A group of scientists from the University of California at Irvine, led by associate professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology Kei ...

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...

Older adults who are more vulnerable to financial scams may have brain changes linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a first-of-its-kind study led by researchers at the USC ...

Brain iron measured by quantitative susceptibility mapping MRI predicted cognitive decline in healthy older adults. Higher magnetic susceptibility in two brain regions was tied to a higher risk of ...
