The brain has multiple memory systems, but the neural code underpinning our ability to remember when things happened remains elusive. The hippocampus is a neural structure subserving numerous ...

The ventral hippocampus is a crucial brain region in the neural circuitry that regulates mood and anxiety. Adult-born neurons in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus have been proposed both to encode ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

The dentate gyrus is one of only two areas in the brain where new neurons are formed continuously in adults through a process called neurogenesis. When a new granule cell neuron is formed in the ...

Researchers have found the first evidence that selective activation of the dentate gyrus, a portion of the hippocampus, can reduce anxiety without affecting learning. The findings suggest that ...

Researchers present data and a simple statistical network model that describe an unanticipated property of newly formed, immature neurons in the dentate gyrus. The model resolves a seeming paradox in ...

Age-related memory decline may be reversed with high doses of naturally occurring cocoa flavanols, US researchers have discovered in findings that establish the dentate gyrus as central to cognitive ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists determine that schizophrenia-associated mutations in synapse-associated protein 97 (SAP97) cause an extreme increase in glutamatergic ...
