The study, led by Dr. Jeffrey Magee, professor at Baylor, who is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Duncan NRI investigator, reveals how the entorhinal cortex (EC) sends instructive ...

The researchers examined a part of the brain’s memory system called the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC). This area provides important input that helps generate our sense of time during ...

The new research suggests that a subset of inhibitory neurons within the entorhinal cortex, or EC -- an area of the brain essential for forming memories -- continue to migrate into this region ...

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.

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

Lower entorhinal cortex thickness is associated with greater financial exploitation vulnerability in cognitively unimpaired older adults. Cerebral Cortex, 2024; 34 (9) DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhae360 ...

The analysis specifically looks at a brain region called the EC-HPC circuit (including the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus) that plays a key role in memory and is known to be hit early by AD.

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 ...
