New research from Yale University reveals that the laminin alpha 5 molecule is crucial to the maturing of the adolescent brain. For a decade, the…
According to MIT neuroscientists, the existence of “silent engrams” suggests that existing models of memory formation should be revised. Learning and memory are generally thought…
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…
Neuroscientists from MIT have shown, for the first time, that recalling a memory requires a “detour” circuit that branches off from the original memory circuit….
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…
Researchers from MIT and Stanford have developed a way to label neurons when they become active, essentially providing a snapshot of their activity at a…
New research from Yale University reveals that a common sedative may help combat common viral infections that can cause birth defects in developing babies. The…
Researchers have developed reconstruction software that allows them to fly through the brain tissue at unprecedented speed, gaining about 10-fold speedup for data analysis in…
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…
New research from scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology shows how the brain extracts this essential motion information, revealing the cells that enable…
MIT neuroscientists identify the brain circuit that drives pleasure-inducing behavior in a brain region thought to be linked with fear. Scientists have long believed that…
A team of scientists has developed a way to identify cells damaged prior to birth by drugs, radiation, or poisons such as mercury that survive…
New research from Yale University and NYU reveals that older adults are less inclined to take risks due to changes in brain anatomy rather than…
