A research team led by University of California, Irvine has discovered new neural circuits that regulate spatial learning and memory in the brain's hippocampal formation. The team identified novel ...

Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the central nervous system. When these cell-to-cell couplings are disrupted in the brain of adult mice, the animals are no longer able to ...

For all the emphasis placed on science, technology, engineering and math instruction, not much attention is given to a skill set that’s closely related with success in STEM: spatial skills. Sheryl ...
