"Decoded Brain Circuits Illuminate Pathways for Stable Memory Formation"

Researchers at NYU Langone Health have decoded brain circuits that enhance stable memory formation, revealing the crucial role of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus in learning.

• The study published in Science demonstrates how the entorhinal cortex and Hippocampus interact to stabilize memory encoding in neural circuits of mice.
• Researchers identified the signaling pathways between the entorhinal cortex and Hippocampus proper as essential for creating and recalling memory maps in the brain.
• This research has potential implications for understanding memory-related disorders such as schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder, highlighting the importance of the neuron connections in these conditions.
