For memory formation, organization matters — ScienceDaily
Although we know that groups of cells working together in a specific brain region -- the hippocampus -- are vital for making, storing, and retrieving many types of memories, we still don't have a...
These immature connections may explain how the adult brain is able to form new...
MIT neuroscientists have discovered that the adult brain contains millions of "silent synapses" -- immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they're recruited to help form new memories.
Until now, it was believed that...
Chronic hypoxia leads to cognitive impairment by promoting HIF-2α-mediated ceramide catabolism and alpha-synuclein hyperphosphorylation
AnimalsAdult male C57BL mice were purchased from SPF Biotechnology (Beijing, China). α-Syn knockout mice were provided by Professor Yang Hui of Capital Medical University. All animals were housed at room temperature under a 12/12 h...
