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 ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

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 identify the hippocampus and microglia as the "tipping point" that determines if chronic pain leads to depression or resilience.

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 ...

Does the brain create additional synapses from the cortical neurons to the new granule cells, or do some cortical neurons transfer connections from mature granule cells to the new granule cells?

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 ...

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. Despite the identification ...
