This important study assessed the effects of food intake on sharp wave-ripples in the hippocampus of mice during subsequent sleep. Solid evidence supports the conclusion that sharp wave-ripples are ...

This important study provides new evidence on the role of norepinephrine (NE) release in the hippocampus in response to environmental transitions (event boundaries), providing a potential link between ...

Hippocampal wet weight was recorded and the ... and anti-actin (1:5000) mouse monoclonal (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO). Secondary antibodies included Alexa Fluor 680 conjugated anti-mouse ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

A study on mice found that interventions increasing the creation of new neurons in the hippocampus (hippocampal neurogenesis) weaken memories of traumatic events and reduce PTSD symptoms.
