Physical and imagined movement through real-world environments may use the same neural mechanism in the brain, suggests a Nature Human Behaviour paper. The findings might help us to better understand ...

These so-called concept neurons have so far only been found in humans, and only in the medial temporal lobe, which is essential for memory formation. An international research team led by Prof.

Producing and storing an episodic memory crucially depends on two parts of the brain, the medial temporal lobes and the frontal lobes.” The medial temporal cortex (the inner part of the brain ...

“There’s a part of the brain in the medial temporal lobe - the part of your brain that sits near your cheekbones and your ears - that is associated with laying down memories and giving you the ...

Federally funded research at Johns Hopkins offers new avenues for detecting brain disease long before it strikes ...

A new study has identified brain regions crucial for remembering words and how they are affected in people with temporal lobe ...

The brain’s medial temporal lobe, including structures such as the hippocampus, is thought to play a significant role. Other areas, including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and the parietal ...

It consists of explicit (declarative) memories that are consciously reportable and depend heavily on the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus and implicit (procedural) memories that are ...

Brain waves in the medial temporal lobe during real-world and imagined navigation are similarly structured, which underpins the parallels between physical and mental wayfinding.
