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

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...

Though it's now clear humans continue to grow new brain cells throughout their entire lives, debate persists over whether this applies to specific areas involved with memory. Previous studies have ...

Researchers are testing a new approach to repair early memory loss by protecting brain connections affected in Alzheimer’s ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

October 19, 2011 — New studies in animal models show not only that stimulating targeted regions of the brain improves spatial memory but also that neurogenesis explains, at least in part, this ...

The barrel cortex, a specialised region within the rodent somatosensory cortex, plays a central role in the processing of tactile information derived from the whiskers. Recent studies have elucidated ...
