This valuable study shows that a very slow (infraslow) oscillation occurs in voltage recordings from the dentate gyrus of the adult mouse. The authors suggest that it is related to sleep stage and ...

Viral encephalitis and seizures cause rapid depletion of neuronal progenitor cells and alter neurogenesis in the adult mouse dentate gyrus ...

“We based our study on a type of spatial memory called “Patterns Separation” that is developed in the dentate gyrus, in the hippocampus region of the brain, where spatial memories are processe ...

Volumes of hippocampal subfields, including the dentate gyrus, were segmented to gauge long-term structural changes. Memory control was assessed using the "think/no-think" task, which measures the ...

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a key molecule involved in inflammation and plays an important role in both healthy and diseased states.

The human brain is made up of billions of neurons that connect precisely through 100 trillion+ specialized junctions called synapses. If a brain is considered a dedicated computer, synapses are the ...

“In rats, you don’t see much loss of granule cells, which are the main neuron in the dentate gyrus, a region that’s really affected in temporal lobe epilepsy. In people, there’s a lot of ...
