Innovative brain-wide mapping study shows that “engrams,” the ensembles of neurons encoding a memory, are widely distributed, including among regions not previously realized. A new…
A brain region can proactively and reactively detect the need to inhibit unwanted memories. Forget what you saw: a brain region detects when you are…
Study provides new insights into how our visual memories are stored. A team of scientists has discovered how working memory is “formatted” — a finding…
A University of Iowa neuroscience research team has identified a fundamental biochemical mechanism underlying memory storage and has linked this mechanism to cognitive deficits in…
Cedars-Sinai researchers discover neurons that separate experience into segments, then help the brain ‘time travel’ and remember. In a study led by Cedars-Sinai, researchers have…
NIH-funded study identifies brain cells that form boundaries between discrete events. Researchers have identified two types of cells in our brains that are involved in…
Selenium – a mineral found in many foods – could reverse the cognitive impact of stroke and boost learning and memory in aging brains, according…
Pooling data from dozens of experiments let researchers show whose brains benefit the most from exercise. We all know exercise is good for us, but…
When a person tries to access a memory, their brain quickly sifts through everything stored in it to find the relevant information. But as we…
We create countless memories as we live our lives but many of these we forget. Why? Counter to the general assumption that memories simply decay…
All memory storage devices, from your brain to the RAM in your computer, store information by changing their physical qualities. Over 130 years ago, pioneering…
For those who rarely forget a face, but struggle with names, the remedy for boosting learning may as near as your pillow. New research by…
Baylor sleep researcher Michael Scullin finds ‘earworms’ continue during sleep, can cause restless nights. Most people listen to music throughout their day and often near…
Infrared light therapy might have the potential to help people living with dementia, according to researchers. A pilot study, led by Dr. Paul Chazot, Durham…
Extra brain processing during sleep enhances learning of new motor skills. Practice makes perfect, but sleep helps, too. Learning and executing a new motor skill…
Researchers have discovered that a particular protein can be used as a brain marker to indicate whether emotional memories can be changed or forgotten. This…
Inhibitory brain stimulation allows better memorization by reducing the power of beta-waves in the brain. Memories of past events and experiences are what define us…
