Decoded Brain Circuits Show How Mice Stabilize Memories During Learning
New research in mice identifies brain circuits that make memories more stable during learning.
The study, published in Science, shows that activity in signaling pathways connecting two brain regions, the entorhinal cortex and the CA3 region of the hippocampus, helps mice form stable neural maps of places.
The paper, titled Cortical glutamatergic and GABAergic inputs support learning-driven hippocampal stability, builds on data from previous studies that demonstrated the importance of the entorhinal/hippocampal circuit for memory formation and recalling memories.
Communication between the entorhinal cortex and the hippocampus’s CA3 region helps mice form stable maps of places.
Author summary: Researchers identify brain circuits that stabilize memories during learning in mice.
