Microscopy image of the mouse hippocampi showing, in green, neuronal connections that act as a “bridge” between both hemispheres. These projections originate from neurons in the right CA1 region and ...

Chronic stress activates the HPA axis, leading to elevated glucocorticoid levels that alter neuronal function within the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex. Prolonged exposure provokes ...

As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it’s recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...

Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.
