in hippocampi of rats [33].
We measured Vc in axons of Schaffer collaterals in CA1 area
of hippocampus in two transgenic mouse models of AD that over-express β - amyloid, line 41 (6mo) and APP / PS1 (24mo).
Studies of the elderly have indicated that those with elevated cortisol levels display significant memory loss resulting
from hippocampus damage, but the exact age range at risk is unclear.
But Wood and his team, notably postdoctoral fellow Janine Kwapis, found that the ability to create lasting memories was linked to a different process — the overly aggressive enzyme blocking the release of Period1 — in the same
hippocampus region of the brain.

Shultz, S. & Dunbar, R. I. M. Species differences in executive function correlate
with hippocampus volume and neocortex ratio across nonhuman primates.
The relationship of
hippocampus volume and disease was stronger among people without memory issues.
Quantification of Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 levels in cortex and
hippocampus by sandwich ELISA.
Using
rat hippocampus neurons the researchers found a heterogeneous distribution of translational hotspots along dendrites for the two mRNAs.
The neuroscientists will examine the before - and - after images to see whether a
small hippocampus really does precede and predict who will get PTSD, or if hippocampal volume decreases in the later picture.
This new research suggests that games with a little more problem solving and a few more spatially complex tasks may help train the brain's
hippocampus for things like remembering lost keys and recalling new names.
Buried deep with the brain, the sickle - shaped
hippocampus plays a key role in learning and memory.
Here, we asked whether application of microstimulation targeted to the entorhinal afferents
into hippocampus could enhance declarative memory function in humans.
Further, the researchers found that C3 protein levels were elevated in WT
hippocampus during early postnatal development (P2), declined sharply by P30, and rebounded modestly but significantly at 16 months.
Other personal highlights
included Hippocampus Denise, the epaulette shark and my personal favourite - sea fans filled with thousands of crazy ghost shrimp, walking around like creatures beyond the realms of science fiction.
Mice that received young people's plasma also had modest improvements in
hippocampus function, but those that received plasma from older adults showed no such improvement.
Theta - band activity in
hippocampus after an event seems to be crucial for learning.
The
human hippocampus creates new neurons throughout a person's lifetime — but most scientists thought that this process, called neurogenesis, does not happen as readily to older people past middle age.
Over-activation of the D2 class of dopamine receptors led to suppression of the function of NMDA receptors, which are activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate, at the synaptic connection
between hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
We find that if neurogenesis occurs in the
adult hippocampus in humans, it is an extremely rare phenomenon, raising questions about its contribution to brain repair or normal brain function.
Students needing a quiet area with tables to study or to complete work can go to the «
hippocampus area,» named after the part of the brain that memorizes and connects new information to what we already know.
However, the adult
hippocampus does not produce oligodendrocytes — the reason for this was so far not known.
We caught up with her
at Hippocampus Magazine's Hippocamp17 creative nonfiction conference in Lancaster, PA, where she gave a reading and was part of the debut author panel.
We previously found that increasing maternal mood symptoms from the prenatal to postnatal period predicted faster growth of the
right hippocampus of infants over the first 6 months of life.
The aerobic exercise group showed an increase in volume of the right and
left hippocampus of 1.97 % and 2.12 %, respectively.
From this «high intake» group, multiple signs of accelerated brain aging was discovered, which included poorer memory, a
shrunken hippocampus, and smaller overall brain volume, which are all early - stage Alzheimer's risk factors.
While some TMEM108 can be found throughout the central nervous system, it appears to normally cluster in the dentate gyrus, an area in the brain's
hippocampus known to be critical for spatial coding — which literally provides a sense of direction — as well as emotion and the ability to learn and remember, which are all affected in schizophrenia.
When her group injected CREB into the animals»
hippocampus using engineered herpesvirus, the mice regained their ability to learn.
«In our study, we found that removing Tet2 from the hippocampal stem cells that give birth to new neurons caused some cognitive impairment, but removing it from the whole
hippocampus caused even more.
From the cells» ages, the group calculated that every day, humans replace 700 of their neurons in the dentate gyrus, a sliver of
hippocampus thought to encode memories.
The impact of physical activity on the
ventral hippocampus specifically has not been deeply explored, said senior author Elizabeth Gould, Princeton's Dorman T. Warren Professor of Psychology.
Plus, György Buzsáki discusses how two types of neurons in the brain's
hippocampus work together to map an animal's environment.
When both mice and people navigate, specialised «place» cells in the brain's
hippocampus fire.
A
bigger hippocampus in nine - and ten - year - old children appears to boost their performance on a relational memory task, said University of Illinois doctoral student Laura Chaddock
A region of interest analysis revealed additional monitoring related dorsal striatal coupling with left
anterior hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus.
Researchers
studied hippocampi from the autopsied brains of 17 men and 11 women ranging in age from 14 to 79.
«Physical activity
keeps hippocampus healthy in people at risk for Alzheimer's disease.»
For example, the prefrontal cortex (involved in working memory) and the horseshoe -
shaped hippocampus (involved in long - term memory) might have opposite chemical needs.
When activated, «the amygdala and
hippocampus send a signal to the hypothalamus and the end product is oxytocin and dopamine, which [elicit feelings of pleasure], happiness, and trust hormones,» he explains.
The rats with reduced neurogenesis in
hippocampus became more addicted to cocaine than a control group: they pressed the lever for cocaine more often and more frequently, and became willing to press the lever more times for a single dose than the controls.
