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 ...

For the first time, a study in rats teases apart the role of the hippocampus in two functions of memory—one that remembers associations between time, place and what one did, and another that allows ...

In a recent study published in Neuronal Psychiatry, researchers explored the molecular and cellular processes regulated by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in the extracellular matrix ...

During the work, the researchers performed bisection tasks for rats to discriminate between long and short intervals to receive a reward. They noted the majority of time cells in the CA1 region to ...

The hippocampus plays a role in the brain's ability to learn and remember. In the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Mody et al. report the use of a microarray ...

Using ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to map the brains of people with Down syndrome (DS), researchers from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals ...

Scientists at USC have unveiled an artificial hippocampus and are planning experiments to determine if it can help replace function in damaged hippocampal tissue. The hippocampus is involved in ...

People who have used cannabis at any stage during their lives display larger volumes in brain regions linked to memory, ...
