University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers have proposed a model that resolves a seeming paradox in one of the most intriguing areas of the brain -- the dentate gyrus. This region helps form ...

Neuroscientists have located the cells that help reprogram long-lasting memories of traumatic experiences towards safety, a first in neuroscience. Memories of traumatic experiences can lead to mental ...

Researchers present data and a simple statistical network model that describe an unanticipated property of newly formed, immature neurons in the dentate gyrus. The model resolves a seeming paradox in ...

Pattern separation, the process of transforming similar representations or memories into highly dissimilar, nonoverlapping representations, is a key component of many functions ascribed to the ...

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. reports that newly generated nerve cells in the brain's dentate gyrus impact older nerve cells in two ways. In their paper ...

As certain neurons within the hippocampus of the brain mature, their contributions to memory and perception change This latter result is particularly surprising because neuroscientists have generally ...

The toxic effects of metronidazole include ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures. 1 There have been two reported cases in which abnormalities of the dentate nucleus on magnetic resonance imaging ...
