For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal ...

Long-term memories are formed through a sequence of molecular timers that gradually reinforce important impressions, allowing ...

Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking ...

For the first time, researchers have identified how the brain’s fatty acids and the genes that control them are crucial to memory formation. In addition to increasing our understanding of how memories ...

Boosting the production of new neurons in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) leads to the rescue of memory formation, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of Illinois ...

Neurons that specifically reduce and modulate electrical brain activity have a greater influence on emotional memories than ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

On its own, LATE dementia is less severe than Alzheimer’s, but in combination, it makes Alzheimer’s symptoms worse, ...

For some adults, the use of a responsive neurostimulation (RNS) system implanted in the brain can help lessen or control seizures related to certain types of epilepsy. The device works similar to a ...

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 ...

The freshwater pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis has emerged as an invaluable invertebrate model for the study of memory formation and central nervous system (CNS) function. Its relatively simple yet ...
