A new study from Rice University details a 1-kilobit rewritable silicon oxide memory device with diodes that eliminate data-corrupting crosstalk. A Rice University laboratory pioneering…
Neurologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have successfully shown that human embryonic stem cells, which have been transformed into nerve cells, can help mice regain…
New research from UC Berkeley suggests that sleep disruption in the elderly, mediated by structural brain changes, represents a contributing factor to age-related cognitive decline….
The enzyme protein kinase M-ζ (PKM-ζ) was thought to be a fixture of long-term memory, as its inhibition could erase old memories, whilst adding it…
Smell, touch, and music have all proven to evoke nostalgia and researchers at the University of Southampton have discovered that nostalgia is linked to the…
Each time a memory is recalled, the memory is imperfectly re-stitched by the brain. Memories retain familiarity but can be filled with holes that have…
A newly published study from a team of neuroscientists at MIT is latest in a growing body of evidence suggesting that astrocytes are critically important…
Fear memories are formed when humans associate things with strong, negative emotional responses. A team of scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden have developed a…
A newly published study details how scientists at the Eindhoven University of Technology developed “magnetic domain-wall ratchet” memory, computer memory that is built up from…
Many people know that soda and sweets aren’t a healthy choice of food, but did you know that a diet steadily high in fructose slows…
Scientists at the University of Basel in Switzerland were able to analyze the genetic sequences of the PRKCA gene in over 700 healthy young volunteers….
Many of you probably knew that eating fresh berries and fruit was good for you; but how good was a question left unanswered, until now….
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…
A new study from UCLA showed that people with low levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their red blood cells scored lower on tests of…
Researchers at Indiana University and the University of Warwick found that people use the marginal value theorem to forage for memories much the same way…
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…
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics are studying how different brain regions cooperate during memory. While testing monkeys with images for visual…
