The sensory cortex is much larger than the hippocampus and can store vast amounts of memory. "Conceptually, we can think about the hippocampus as a pointer network.

The long-understood model of the studied circuit posits that the hippocampus (HC) receives sensory information about the outside world from entorhinal cortex (EC) surface layers 2 and 3, but sends ...

Scientists have known for a while that Alzheimer’s disease affects some areas of the brain more than others. One key player ...

Our study found that lower thickness of the entorhinal cortex, as measured via brain scan, was associated with higher financial vulnerability, as measured by a self-report questionnaire. We did ...

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps ...
