DALLAS - May 28, 2021 - A study of gene activity in the brain s hippocampus, led by UT Southwestern researchers, has identified marked differences between the region s anterior and posterior portions. The findings, published today in
Neuron, could shed light on a variety of brain disorders that involve the hippocampus and may eventually help lead to new, targeted treatments.
These new data reveal molecular-level differences that allow us to view the anterior and posterior hippocampus in a whole new way, says study leader Genevieve Konopka, Ph.D., associate professor of neuroscience at UTSW. ....
