Neuronal dynamics of learning and memory in the mammillary body
At the heart of our individual personalities lie our memories – be it our first time riding a bike, the school graduation ceremony, or yesterday’s football match. Yet, it is estimated that in the coming decades up to 150 million people worldwide will suffer from dementia. To tackle this surge and identify therapeutic interventions, a thorough understanding of the neuronal mechanisms underlying long-term memory storage is necessary. Research in humans and rodents has identified the hippocampus as the brain’s preeminent structure for memory processing. Yet, for memories to become permanently stored and correctly retrieved, the hippocampus needs to communicate with the rest of the brain. One…
