Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of memories for over a century. Past studies suggest that memories are stored by groups of brain cells ...
Depression, one of the most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide, is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, impaired daily functioning and a loss of interest in daily activities, often along with altered ...
The mammalian brain is known to produce mental representations of the spatial environment, known as cognitive maps, that help humans and animals navigate their surroundings. A subpopulation of neurons in the CA1 area of the ...
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 synaptic level to the network ...
