To consolidate memories, our brains replay them during periods of rest as a kind of 'replay mode'. A new mouse study suggests ...

Recent experimental findings suggest that the hippocampus, the brain region primarily associated with memory and navigation, actively reorganizes its neural patterns to anticipate future events.

Each of us experience profound changes across the course of our lifetime and yet, we still have a sense of being the same person ...

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice ...

Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) saves lives by treating cancer that has spread to the brain, but it also causes long-standing brain damage. Many patients develop memory problems, thinking difficulties ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

If you can vividly recall a humiliating moment from years ago but forget why you walked into the kitchen, neuroscience says ...

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice, and its role in brain ...

A needle-thin, flexible brain implant is giving researchers a new way to interact with multiple brain regions simultaneously.

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice ...

One of the problems with the study of consciousness is the lack of a universally accepted operational definition. Scientist René Descartes famously proposed the idea of cogito ergo sum (“I think, ...

A study led by scientists at University College London suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may be caused by a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of ...
