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) ...

A longstanding question in neuroscience is how mammalian brains (including ours) adapt to external environments, information, and experiences. In a paradigm-shifting study published in Nature, ...

Women are more than twice as likely as men to develop stress-related conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ...

A landmark study led by UCLA Health has begun to unravel one of the fundamental mysteries in neuroscience – how the human brain encodes and makes sense of the flow of time and experiences. The study, ...

The organization of temporal information is critical for the encoding and retrieval of episodic memories. In the rodent hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, evidence accumulated over the last decade ...

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 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 ...

A longstanding question in neuroscience is how mammalian brains, including ours, adapt to external environments, information and experiences. In a study published in Nature, researchers at the Jan and ...
