For decades, neuroscientists assumed the hippocampus, the brain’s memory hub, started out mostly empty and built its wiring ...
7 January 2025, Leuven – Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and ...
Researchers in the Jonas group at ISTA applied this question to the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for memory ...
The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories into long-term ones, helping us retain and build upon our experiences.
