Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Think of a time when you had two different but similar experiences in a short period. Maybe you attended two holiday parties in the same week or gave two presentations at work. Shortly ...

The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them—an effect called infantile amnesia. A ...

You can use up all the storage on your phone or max out your computer's drive, but can you use up all the memory space in your brain? Despite how you might feel before an exam or after a sleepless ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...
