Amyloid proteins are typically considered bad guys, but researchers been investigating whether a version may be key to forming long-term memories.

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the most powerful assets of the brain is that it can store information as memories, allowing us to learn from our mistakes. However, some memories remain vivid while others become forgotten.

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 ...

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 ...

A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers—a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder ...

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, ...
