Wanting to better understand how the brain forms and stores long-term memory, an international team of scientists undertook a study of the brain's circuits. Their work sheds new light on the way the ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanistic steps underlying a new type of synaptic plasticity called behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP). The study reveals how the entorhinal cortex (EC) ...

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 ...

Neurons in an area of the brain responsible for memory were significantly larger in SuperAgers compared to cognitively average peers, individuals with early-stage Alzheimer's disease and even ...

The spread of tau pathology from the entorhinal cortex into the neighboring hippocampus region of the brain is thought to herald the onset of clinical symptoms in AD, but exactly what path does tau ...

Just as gravity explains how two distant objects can sway each other’s movement in space, synaptic connections may explain how amyloid plaques coax distant tau tangles to spread in the brain. This is ...

The human brain continues to be built after we are born for far longer than previously recognized, suggests research by Shawn Sorrells, assistant professor of neuroscience in the Kenneth P. Dietrich ...
