Conceptual representation and the making of new decisions.

22 Sep 2009 A key feature of an adaptive decision making mechanism is its ability to guide behavior even in new situations. In this issue of Neuron, Kumaran et al. report that conceptual representations, which allow generalization from one situation to another ... Read more...

Alteration of synaptic transmission in the hippocampal-mPFC pathway during extinction trials of context-dependent fear memory in juvenile rat stress models.

30 Aug 2009 The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been proposed to be essential for extinction of fear memory, but its neural mechanism has been poorly understood. The present study examined whether synaptic transmission in the hippocampal-mPFC pathway is ... Read more...

Hippocampal volumes are important predictors for memory function in elderly women.

20 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Normal aging involves a decline in cognitive function that has been shown to correlate with volumetric change in the hippocampus, and with genetic variability in the APOE-gene. In the present study we utilize 3D MR imaging, genetic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hippocampus'

Definition: A curved elevation of gray matter extending the entire length of the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle (Dorland, 28th ed). The hippocampus, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.
