For the first time, researchers have identified how the brain’s fatty acids and the genes that control them are crucial to memory formation. In addition to increasing our understanding of how memories ...

A new study shows that precisely manipulating brain activity during sleep can help mice retain memories that would normally fade, offering a potential pathway for treating memory loss conditions.

Boosting the production of new neurons in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) leads to the rescue of memory formation, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of Illinois ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

For some adults, the use of a responsive neurostimulation (RNS) system implanted in the brain can help lessen or control seizures related to certain types of epilepsy. The device works similar to a ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal ...

A collaborative Indo-German research team has identified a clear biological mechanism linking disturbances in gut bacteria to ...

The aLTP process is activated when the brain is temporarily deprived of oxygen and glutamate levels increase. If aLTP is maintained for an extended period, this hijacks the normal functioning of the ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

In a new, rare study of direct brain recordings in children and adolescents, scientists have discovered as brains mature, the precise ways by which two key memory regions in the brain communicate make ...

Dietary iron deficiency in mice alters lung T cell activation during influenza infection and leads to memory T cells that are ...
