    Mouse Study Supports Stem Cell Therapy for Cerebral Palsy
    Neural stem cells can repair damaged parts of the brain and restore motor impairments in mice that display features of cerebral palsy.
  • Diagram comparing participants’ brain activity to how well they remembered the essays they read, the researchers found successful memory of the text was associated with deactivation of two sets of brain regions: the salience network at the sentence level and the default mode network at the paragraph level. These deactivations may indicate a mechanism by which the brain filters out irrelevant information during reading in order to focus on committing the text to memory.

  • Temporal overview of study design and effects of CSS on neurobehavioral performance in P301S mutant mice. A, Schematic of the CSS paradigm, where total sleep deprivation (SD, red bars) occurred at the onset of the first three lights-on (light blue) periods of the week (L1, L2, and L3) for 8 consecutive hours. Mice were returned to home cages for the last 4 h of the L1, L2, and L3 periods and the ensuing lights off (dark blue bars, D1, D2, and D3) periods. Mice were left undisturbed in home cages for days 4–7 each week. The pattern was repeated weekly for 4 consecutive weeks.

    Life is Like a Box of Hippocampal Scenes
    A neuroimaging study of human participants watching the 1994 film Forrest Gump and Alfred Hitchcock's 1961 television drama Bang! You're Dead suggests an important role for the hippocampus in segmenting our continuous everyday experience into discrete events for storage in long-term memory.
  • Study methodology. Patients implanted with electrocorticography arrays completed a 3D center-out reaching task. A, Electrode locations were based upon the clinical requirements of each patient and were localized to an atlas brain for display. B, Patients were seated in the semirecumbent position and completed reaching movements from the center to the corners of a 50 cm physical cube based upon cues from LED lights located at each target while hand positions and ECoG signals were simultaneously recorded. Each patient was implanted with electrodes in a single cortical hemisphere and performed the task with the arm contralateral (C) and ipsilateral (D) to the electrode array in separate recording sessions.
