A research team has discovered new neural circuits that regulate spatial learning and memory in the brain's hippocampal formation. The team identified novel functional roles of new circuit connections ...

Nuri Jeong remembers the feeling of surprise she felt during a trip back to South Korea, while visiting her grandmother, who'd been grappling with Alzheimer's disease. "I hadn't seen her in six years, ...

There is direct evidence of spatial learning in any butterfly or moth species. Melissa Breyer was Treehugger’s senior editorial director before moving to Martha Stewart. Her writing and photography ...

Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the central nervous system. When these cell-to-cell couplings are disrupted in the brain of adult mice, the animals are no longer able to ...

Biology and medical researchers use spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies to detect transcription levels in cells, predict cell types and build a tissue's three-dimensional (3D) structure. However ...

earning spatial elements of a new environment is important for people and animals. However, how this process occurs in the brain remains poorly understood. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are abundantly ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about psychology and education research and policy. Joni Lakin: Sometimes it's okay to recognize talent based on intuition ...
