An international research team has uncovered new insights into healthy brain aging. The researchers found that aging leads to ...

Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

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

How does the brain store knowledge so that you actually remember what you have learned the next day or even later? To find out, researchers at the University of Oslo disconnected one type of nerve ...

An international research team led the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena, Germany, and the ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

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

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 ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

What if your brain could improve faster than you think? Here’s how a 12-week plan can boost focus, memory, and mental energy.

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...
