Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

Several types of neurons involved in spatial navigation and memory encode the distance
and direction (that is, the vector) between an agent and items in its environment. Such …

Short-term memory deficits have been associated with prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunction in
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD mouse models. Extratelencephalic projection (ET) …

Animals in the natural world constantly encounter geometrically complex landscapes.
Successful navigation requires that they understand geometric features of these landscapes …

Much of our understanding of navigation comes from the study of individual species, often
with specific tasks tailored to those species. Here, we provide a novel experimental and …

Viral tracers are important tools for neuroanatomical map** and genetic payload delivery.
Genetically modified viruses allow for cell-type-specific targeting and overcome many …

The study of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) has traditionally focused on neuropathological
mechanisms that has guided therapies that attenuate neuropathological features. A new …

Bouts of high frequency activity known as sharp wave ripples (SPW-Rs) facilitate
communication between the hippocampus and neocortex. However, the paths and …

The interplay between olfaction and higher cognitive processing has been documented in
the adult brain; however, its development is poorly understood. In mice, shortly after birth …

The functional characteristics of the mouse visual system have not previously been well
explored using fMRI. In this research, we examined 9.4 T BOLD fMRI responses to visual …
