This report contains a gene expression summary of the dentate gyrus (DG), derived from the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) in situ hybridization mouse data set. The structure's location and morphological ...

In the process of solving a decades-long mystery about a particular protein, scientists have identified a specific location in the brain where schizophrenia may originate. The news: Despite the ...

It appears that new cells compete to ‘win’ synapse connections away from old cells, which promotes network plasticity. Linda Overstreet-Wadiche, Ph.D. One goal in neurobiology is to understand how the ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists determine that schizophrenia-associated mutations in synapse-associated protein 97 (SAP97) cause an extreme increase in glutamatergic ...

The dentate gyrus is one of only two areas in the brain where new neurons are formed continuously in adults through a process called neurogenesis. When a new granule cell neuron is formed in the ...

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 ...

Researchers have found the first evidence that selective activation of the dentate gyrus, a portion of the hippocampus, can reduce anxiety without affecting learning. The findings suggest that ...

Age-related memory decline may be reversed with high doses of naturally occurring cocoa flavanols, US researchers have discovered in findings that establish the dentate gyrus as central to cognitive ...
