Mapping Social NetworksSpecialized cells in the hippocampus map social connections, offering insights into social behavior and relationships.
Learning produces an orthogonalized state machine in the hippocampus - NatureIntelligence involves dynamic interaction with the environment using internal models for navigation and task execution.
How Animal Brains Tell Friends from StrangersDifferent brain regions are responsible for vague recognition and complete recollection of familiarity.The brain region CA2 in the hippocampus is specialized in memory used to recall relationships.
Left-right-alternating theta sweeps in entorhinal-hippocampal maps of space - NatureNeuropixels probes were implanted in Long Evans rats to study neural activity in specific brain regions under ethical guidelines.

Eleanor Maguire, Memory Expert Who Studied London Cabbies, Dies at 54Eleanor Maguire revolutionized the understanding of memory through her research on the hippocampus, especially in relation to London taxi drivers.
Hippocampal neuronal activity is aligned with action plansHippocampal neurons are more influenced by internal action plans than by external sensory cues during tasks involving spatial and auditory elements.
Lost your sense of direction? Turn off your phone and you'll soon reconnectOver-reliance on technology has negatively impacted children's spatial awareness and mental health, contributing to shrinking hippocampi and increased agoraphobia.
Simulation mimics how the brain grows neurons, paving the way for future disease treatmentsThe new brain simulation could enhance understanding of neuron development and support research into treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.
Can LLMs Think Like Us?The hippocampus enables abstract reasoning; LLMs mirror this through pattern-based language prediction.Future AI could emulate human inference by integrating multimodal learning and reinforcement methods.AI's evolution hinges on bridging prediction and reasoning for deeper understanding.

The "barcodes" powering these tiny songbirds' memories may also help human memory : Short WaveChickadees have impressive episodic memory, storing food in numerous locations and recalling these stashes when needed.The unique patterns of neural activity in the hippocampus, akin to barcodes, play a crucial role in the chickadees' memory and navigation abilities.
Chickadees Use Brain-Cell Barcodes' to Remember Where They Stashed Their SnacksBlack-capped Chickadees store food in thousands of locations for times of scarcity with precise memory on the location and content.Chickadees activate unique barcodelike patterns in their brain for storing and retrieving food memories without mixing them up.
