A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...
A mouse pup is born with its hippocampus already buzzing with connections. Not a few tentative links between neighboring ...
Early brain wiring: Mouse studies suggest the hippocampus begins life hyperconnected, pruning into more precise networks, explaining why infant memories are vague. Dormant synapse reserve: MIT found ...
Resembling a seahorse, as its name implies from the Greek words 'hippos' (horse) and 'kampus' (sea monster), the hippocampus is a brain region crucial for memory formation. But until recently, ...
The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...
Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) is a transmembrane receptor found on microglia, where it modulates cell activity and survival. In addition to membrane-associated TREM2, there ...
