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 ...

Memory representations are fundamental to human cognition, yet their integrity can be compromised with advancing age. Recent research has elucidated complex molecular and circuit-level mechanisms ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

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 ...

Resembling a seahorse, as its name implies from the Greek words 'hippos' (horse) and 'kampus' (sea monster), the hippocampus is a brain region crucial for memory formation. But until recently, ...

Our brains store immense information about our experiences, feelings, and the world around us. Networks of neurons encode these signals as memories. These networks are called engrams. Select neurons ...

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 ...

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