Australian scientists have created the most detailed map ever of the communication links between the hippocampus, the brain’s memory control center, and the rest of…
New research from the Max Planck Institute shows that in women, in parallel to the rhythm of the level of estrogen across their menstrual cycle,…
Neuroscientists from MIT have now identified a brain circuit that processes the “when” and “where” components of memory, revealing that this information is split even…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute have discovered that the brain uses the cortex for making sensory associations, not the hippocampus. ‘Where’ and ‘how’ memories…
Based on a genetic analysis of more than 9,000 people, a new study shows that four genes may speed shrinkage of the hippocampus in the…
Lost memories may be a thing of the past as neuroscientists conduct research on mice to test memory recall. By using optogenetics and stimulating the…
Neurologists just took another step forward in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. While studying mice, they discovered that the antibodies that block the function of…
New findings show a non-invasive way to administer anxiolytic neuropeptide S (NPS). While working with mice, the findings show that intranasally administered neuropeptide S was…
A team of neuroscientists at the School of Medicine at UCLA have demonstrated that they can strengthen memory in human patients by stimulating the entorhinal…
New research by neuroscientists and child psychiatrists shows that children whose mothers nurtured them early in life have brains with a larger hippocampus. This is…
