Sentences with phrase «cells in the hippocampus form»

NEW ROLE A kind of brain cell called an astrocyte (shown) may help nerve cells in the hippocampus form traumatic memories, a study in rats suggests.

Not exact matches

Neural stem cells with the ability to form new neurons in the brain are normally present in the hippocampus (the part of the brain connected to learning and memory) and in the subventricular zone of the brain.

Thus both in the cerebellum and hippocampus (previous image), insulin receptors are highly expressed in cells that form synapses onto MHCI - expressing neurons, which suggests MHCI and insulin receptors could interact, either directly or indirectly, in the living brain.

Given that lot of those brain cells seemed to form down in the area of the hippocampus, which is involved with the memory and with learning, it was an easy jump to naturally assume that they must be involved with that in some way.

Buried deep underneath the folds of the cerebral cortex, neural stem cells in the hippocampus continue to generate new neurons, inciting a struggle between new and old as the new attempts to gain a foothold in memory - forming center of the brain.

The CBM now forms the core of the new Kavli Institute at Trondheim, which was inaugurated in August 2007 and where research continues on grid cells, as well as areas such as understanding the role of the hippocampus in shaping memory.

The researchers studied the hippocampus, taking a closer look at the newly formed brain cells and the state of blood vessels in the region of the brain that plays an important role in emotions, spatial navigation, and memory.

As part of the study the team first used a form of optogenetics to establish that if gamma oscillations are increased, they will energize microglial cells in areas such as the hippocampus.

The deletions specifically affected neural stem cells and the new neurons that they form in the hippocampus.

One of Frankland's own studies in mice, for example, found that as new brain cells are formed in the hippocampus — a region of the brain associated with learning new things — those new connections overwrite old memories and make them harder to access.

Studies show that nitric oxide signaling and the blood flow increases it stimulates play a central role in nerve cell maintenance, growth and repair.,, Most pertinent to anyone looking to enhance their aptitude for learning, nitric oxide - induced blood flow also makes forming new memories physically possible as it plays a key role in what neurologists call long - term potentiation, a process required for assembling and reinforcing new synaptic connections throughout the entire cerebral cortex, striatum, and hippocampus.
