Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal ...

Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation. Their study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that the enzyme ...

The aLTP process is activated when the brain is temporarily deprived of oxygen and glutamate levels increase. If aLTP is maintained for an extended period, this hijacks the normal functioning of the ...

For the first time, researchers have identified how the brain’s fatty acids and the genes that control them are crucial to memory formation. In addition to increasing our understanding of how memories ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is was previously unknown. Now, a team of ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that ...

Brain scans of thousands of people revealed that the human brain has five distinct eras, with turning points in the way it is ...

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 ...

“Over longer periods of time, exercise and physical activity increase formation of new brain cells ... which will impact memory and other functions of the brain,” Dr. S. Ausim Azizi, a professor and ...

Memory foginess—that frustrating inability to recall information clearly or think with precision—affects nearly everyone at some point. This mental cloudiness can manifest as forgetting names moments ...
