A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

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 ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that damage to small blood vessels in the hereditary disease CADASIL may disrupt ...

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 ...

The hippocampus has a surprising new role -- linked to the control of skilled actions such as handwriting, typing, and playing music. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have uncovered a ...

Indulging in cheeseburgers, fries and other junk foods may do more than add inches to the waistline—they could also quickly impair memory. This is the warning of a new study by researchers from the ...

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 ...
