- Sparse-to-dense coding transformation between hippocampal areas CA3 and CA1
A study published in Nature reveals that the hippocampus undergoes a CA3-to-CA1 coding transformation, which integrates rapid learning with an efficient, compressed neural code. This transformation is crucial for balancing memory flexibility and storage efficiency in the brain.
- In the brain, objects seen and imagined follow the same neural path
New research indicates that both visual perception and imagination utilize identical neural pathways and coding mechanisms in the brain. The study highlights shared neuronal activity for sight and imagination, suggesting a unified neural code. (Image credit: Marco Bottigelli)
