Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

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 ...

‘The timeline of memory decline is not hardwired; it’s actively modulated in the body.’ ...

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, ...

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 ...

“If we go back to the early 1900s, this is when the idea was first proposed that memories are physically stored in some location within the brain,” says Michael R. Williamson, a researcher at the ...

Discover 25 interesting facts about amnesia, from its surprising types to causes like trauma and surgery. Explore the complex world of memory loss and chal ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

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 ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

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 ...
