Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, a recent study has found.
A study led by NYU Langone Health researchers, published online in Science on October 30, shows that activity in signaling pathways connecting two brain regions, the entorhinal cortex and the CA3 region of the hippocampus, help mice encode in brain circuitry maps of places.
The entorhinal/hippocampal circuit is known from past studies to be crucial for both memory formation and the recalling of memories by completing patterns from partial cues.
According to a new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers.
