Which specific memory functions are dependent on the hippocampus is still debated. The availability of a large cohort of patients who had sustainedrelatively selective hippocampal damage early inlife enabled us to determine which type ofmnemonic deficit showed a correlation with extent of hippocampal ...
(Medical Xpress)—Meet the hippocampus: A seahorse-shaped structure in the cerebral cortex's medial temporal lobe, it's part of the limbic system, generally believed to be involved in spatial navigation and establishing long-term memories. However, it's been unclear which specific memory functions...
In what part of the brain is the hippocampus located? What role does the hippocampus play in memory? What does the medulla control? What is the role of the hippocampus in memory formation? What does the reticular formation control? Where is the hippocampus located in the brain?
A number of functions are involved in memory consolidation. The hippocampus appears to play an important role in memory formation and storage. Other parts of the brain can have varying degrees of involvement, depending on the memory involved. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep also appears to help ...
What role does myelin play in white matter? Myelin sheaths around axons increase the speed of electrical signal transmission. 5 How do grey and white matter interact in the brain? Grey matter processes information which is then communicated through the white matter's network, integrating brain func...
What role does the destruction of neurotransmitters play in the functioning of neurons and muscle cells? How do neurons recognize patterns? What area of the brain is involved in fear and memory processing? The cerebrum makes up about 80% of the brain. What composes the other 20%?
Spatial working memory maintenance: does attention play a role? Recent studies have proposed that a common mechanism may underlie spatial attention and spatial working memory. One proposal is that spatial working memory... L Chan,W Hayward,J Theeuwes - 《Acta Psychologica》 被引量: 22发表: 2009...
What role does post-traumatic stress disorder play in memory retrieval, persistence of memories, and interference? What causes false memory syndrome? What does the Sternberg task tell us about the retrieval of information from short-term memory?
To address this question, we ex- amined the role of neuronal and glial glutamate transporters to the clearance of glutamate at synapses in the hippocampus. Methods: Hippocampal interneurons located at the oriens-alveus border (O- LM interneurons) interneurons express mGluR1α, a metabotropic ...
