The study shows, for the first time in a realistic setting, the role of ripple-type brain waves in memory encoding and storage. A research team from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of ...

Cooperating neurons form the physical structure of a memory, but how these assemblies form and persist as long-term memories still stumps scientists. After an event, brain activity increases in the ...

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 ...

Blocking microglia prevents infant forgetting and improves memory in mice, suggesting they play a key role in memory ...

Neurons have variable levels of chromatin compaction, shown as different shades of red. The less compact a neuron, the more likely it is to be recruited into the memory trace (green). When we form a ...

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

Researchers have discovered a neural mechanism for memory integration that stretches across both time and personal experience. Mount Sinai researchers have discovered for the first time a neural ...

Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create memories of meals, encoding not just what food was eaten but when it was eaten. The findings, published in Nature Communications, ...
