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

These findings therefore reveal that aversive memory formation in humans depends on an amygdala-hippocampus "phase code": The amygdala coordinates the neuronal activity in the hippocampus, ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Boosting the production of new neurons in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) leads to the rescue of memory formation, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of Illinois ...

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.

Researchers have found that cells in the rat hippocampus -- a brain region that is essential for making memories -- are specifically organized into small clusters when fear-based memories are formed.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have discovered that increasing the production of new neurons in mice with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rescues the animals’ memory defects. The study, to ...

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 ...

Memory, one of the hallmarks of human cognition, can be modified when humans voluntarily modulate neural population activity using neurofeedback. However, it is currently unknown whether neurofeedback ...

In an important study for understanding how memories are made, cientists show that the flexibility of chromatin -- packaged DNA inside the cell -- plays a crucial role in 'deciding' which neurons are ...

When you memorize something, the brain creates a nerve-impulse code to create a representation of the information in the brain, and this code can get stored in memory. Upon retrieval, the code is ...
