Discover how individual neurons in the brain learn to recognize and predict patterns in the flow of time, providing insights into the structure of time.

What if our food cravings depended on our memories? A recent study reveals that specific neurons in the hippocampus play a ...

These so-called concept neurons have so far only been found in humans, and only in the medial temporal lobe, which is essential for memory formation. An international research team led by Prof.

Each time a person undergoes stress the brain releases cortisol hormones. Cortisol binds to glucocorticoid receptors and tells the body to prepare its “fight-or-flight” response. This hormone also ...

A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

The hippocampus contains neurons that specifically encode memories for of sugar and fat, impacting affecting food intake and ...

These neurons do not affect other types of memory, such as spatial memory for non-food-related tasks. "The specificity of these circuits is fascinating," said de Lartigue.

Explore body memory, where cells outside the brain store and process information, challenging traditional views of memory.

have suggested that they may be central to how we form and retrieve memory. We know that the brain processes information about the outside world through the complex dynamics of circuits of neurons, ...

Recent research has focused on understanding how neurons in this area contribute to associative memory processing, particularly how they encode and interconnect various sensory signals.

They found that these IL-1R1-positive neurons are involved in circuits that control sensory processing, mood regulation and memory. "Our study shows how certain neurons are connected to immune ...

A new study identifies neurons in the hippocampus that store food-specific memories, directly influencing overeating and body ...
