Re-engineering the Hippocampus
نویسندگان
چکیده
As adult-generated neurons integrate into hippocampal circuits, they compete with mature neurons for inputs from the entorhinal cortex. By reducing spines on mature granule cells, McAvoy et al. (2016) find that new neurons integrate more efficiently, and this facilitates learning.

The effect of rosemary extract on spatial memory, learning and antioxidant enzymes activities in the hippocampus of middle-aged rats
Background: The Rosemary extract (RE) possesses various antioxidant, cytoprotective and cognition-improving bioactivities. In this study, we postulated which doses of RE have a more effect on the hippocampus of middle-aged rats. Methods : In this experimental study, thirty-two middle-aged male Wistar rats were fed by different doses (50,100 and 200 mg/kg/day) of RE (containing 40% carnosic ...
متن کاملComputational Pattern Separation Models of Dentate Gyrus Neural Subpopulation in the Hippocampus
Hippocampus is a part of the brain that has an essential role in memory and learning. It is involved in many cognitive and behavioral phenomena, including the pattern separation process: the ability to distinguish patterns with very high similarity. The present study compared the models of pattern separation in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and aimed to investigate the significant cel...

متن کاملAn Improvement in Fluorocarbon Chain Re-orientation by Reactive Dyes
There is an increasing demand for air-dry performance of fluorocarbon finished materials. Thus, dyeing with different types of reactive, mono, bi, and multi-functional, dyes was evaluated as a novel treatment to create correct surface interface to maintain fluorocarbon performance without ironing or tumble drying. The effects of pre-treatment on fluorocarbon finishing of cotton fabric, a cellul...
