In a newly published study, neurobiologists demonstrate the ability to create specific memories by directly altering brain cells in the cerebral cortex. Irvine, California —…
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…
In a new study, neuroscientists plant false memories in the brains of mice, showing that the brain’s neural mechanism underlying the recall of the memory…
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…
