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

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) and Duke University ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is was previously unknown. Now, a team of ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

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 ...

A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers—a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder ...

Researchers have been fascinated for a long time by learning and memory formation, and many questions are still open. Bochum-based neuroscientists Prof Dr Denise Manahan-Vaughan and Dr Hardy Hagena ...

That constant tab-switching habit might be doing more harm to your brain than you think. We’ve all been there – responding to emails while joining a Zoom call, scrolling social media during a TV show, ...

Bioluminescent RNA lanterns have revolutionized the way researchers track RNA activity within living organisms. In a groundbreaking study, scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) ...

The pursuit of maintaining sharp memory and cognitive vitality throughout life has led to remarkable discoveries about the powerful connection between diet and brain health. Recent evidence points 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 ...
