The authors instead suggest that the hippocampus and the perirhinal cortex both play a role in recollection and familiarity, and that these two regions of the medial temporal lobe differ mainly in ...

Structures of the limbic system, including the olfactory cortex, amygdala and the hippocampus are located within the temporal lobes. The upper and central regions receive auditory input from the ...

A novel placebo-controlled study has found daily caffeine consumption can significantly reduce the volume of gray matter in ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual ...

The topmost portion is divided into two hemispheres, each with four lobes, within which are many ... the amygdala, and the hippocampus. Toward the bottom of the brain are more primitive structures ...

The hippocampus is a small, seahorse-shaped structure located in the brain’s temporal lobe. It plays a crucial role in memory formation, learning, and spatial navigation. It is part of the ...

A normal MRI brain, showing no atrophy, depicts the three areas of interest in the brain's medial temporal lobe: hippocampus (outlined in red); entorhinal cortex (blue) and perirhinal cortex (green).

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis Medicine Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology have identified specific neuronal cells that are essential to our understanding of other people. Runnan ...

We report here the activity of neurons for all the probes located in the medial temporal lobe. Neurons from anterior (85%), middle (10%) and posterior (5%) parts of the hippocampus were pooled ...

Studies show that the hippocampus (a structure embedded deep in the temporal lobe that has a major role in learning and memory) is more likely to shrink if cortisol binds to it for long periods of ...

This work presents potentially important findings suggesting that a combination of transcranial stimulation approaches applied for a short period could improve memory performance after administration.
