Hippocampal network operations supporting spatial navigation and declarative memory are
traditionally interpreted in a framework where each hippocampal area, such as the dentate …

Type 2 diabetes with obesity-related insulin resistance as the main manifestation is
associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. Adipose tissue plays an important …

In the hippocampus, spatial maps are formed by place cells while contextual memories are
thought to be encoded as engrams,,,,–. Engrams are typically identified by expression of the …

Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

The neuronal circuits of the basolateral amygdala (BLA) are crucial for acquisition,

To construct an artificial intelligence system with high efficient information integration and
computing capability like the human brain, it is necessary to realize the biological …

Theories stipulate that memories are encoded within networks of cortical projection neurons.
Conversely, GABAergic interneurons are thought to function primarily to inhibit projection …

Neurotrophic factors, particularly brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other
members of the neurotrophin family, are central mediators of the activity-dependent plasticity …

The formation of long-term memory is critical for learning ability and social behaviors of
humans and animals, yet its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. We found that the …
