The ventral hippocampus is a crucial brain region in the neural circuitry that regulates mood and anxiety. Adult-born neurons in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus have been proposed both to encode ...

The human brain is highly developed with higher functions compared to other animals, thanks to which humans are believed to have acquired special abilities. One of the important factors considered to ...

A team of researchers from the University of Hong Kong and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China has conclusively identified the right inferior frontal gyrus (rIFG) as a key ...

The dentate gyrus is one of only two areas in the brain where new neurons are formed continuously in adults through a process called neurogenesis. When a new granule cell neuron is formed in the ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

Angular gyrus is an associated language area that connects the visual and arithmetic areas of the brain to the speech and language areas. The angular gyrus lies just above the top edge of temporal ...

The human brain is highly developed compared to other animals, thanks to which humans are believed to have acquired special abilities. One of the important factors considered to contribute to the ...

Does the brain create additional synapses from the cortical neurons to the new granule cells, or do some cortical neurons transfer connections from mature granule cells to the new granule cells?

Neuroscientists have identified face-recognition areas based on what parts of the brain they link to. For more than a decade, neuroscientists have known that many of the cells in a brain region called ...

Age-related memory decline may be reversed with high doses of naturally occurring cocoa flavanols, US researchers have discovered in findings that establish the dentate gyrus as central to cognitive ...
