When you enter a room, your brain is bombarded with sensory information. If the room is a place you know well, most of this information…
A newly published study from the Harvard Medical School casts doubt on the prevailing model of fixed memory formation, suggesting that the brain may be…
Research from MIT suggests a new approach to developing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, revealing a new way to reverse memory loss by blocking an enzyme…
New research from MIT reveals that memories are formed simultaneously in the hippocampus and the long-term storage location in the brain’s cortex. When we visit…
Neuroscientists from MIT have identified the region of the brain that holds objects in memory until they are spotted. Imagine you are looking for your…
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…
By artificially reactivating happy memories that were formed before the onset of depression, MIT neuroscientists have shown that they can cure the symptoms of depression…
