To investigate whether or not non-neuronal cells can form memories, Nikolay Kukushkin, a scientist in Thomas Carew’s lab at New York University and a coauthor of the study, built on his recent work.

Sometimes, we search for information in long-term memory and find it—a name, a movie title, or a vivid example to support a general conclusion. Other times, we're unable to recall what we believe we ...

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 ...

LOS ANGELES (June 25, 2020) -- New research from Cedars-Sinai has identified the pathways of neurons that help people retrieve information from memories and use that information to make decisions--a ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

Memory expert Dr. Tracy Packiam reveals science-backed strategies to boost learning potential as students return to school. Her research-based approach includes surprisingly simple techniques that can ...

The nonlinear response of driven complex materials—disordered magnets, amorphous media, and crumpled sheets—features intricate transition pathways where the system repeatedly hops between metastable ...

You’ve just walked into a room and completely forgotten why. You’re mid-sentence when the word you need simply vanishes. Your friend mentions a movie you both saw last month, and you have zero ...
