Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...

‘The timeline of memory decline is not hardwired; it’s actively modulated in the body.’ ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Although we've all experienced the sensation of "eating" with our eyes and noses before food meets mouth, much less is known ...

“If we go back to the early 1900s, this is when the idea was first proposed that memories are physically stored in some location within the brain,” says Michael R. Williamson, a researcher at the ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

Memory acts as the invisible thread linking our past experiences to present awareness, shaping who we are and how we learn. Far from being fixed, though, memory is a dynamic system. It's constantly ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

That constant tab-switching habit might be doing more harm to your brain than you think. We’ve all been there – responding to emails while joining a Zoom call, scrolling social media during a TV show, ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...
