Dopamine plays a more complex and precise role in brain function than previously thought: it not only enhances neural ...

A context-driven memory model simulates a wide range of characteristics of waking and sleeping hippocampal replay, providing a new account of how and why replay occurs.

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...

Memory is not just a storage system but the foundation of learning and academic success. Research shows it can be strengthened through deliberate strategies such as spaced repetition, active recall, ...

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF, empowered by IMEC, KU Leuven, and VIB) have discovered the neural ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Why are we able to recall only some of our past experiences? A new study led by Jun Nagai at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan has an answer. Surprisingly, it turns out that the brain cells ...

In an interview, Dr. Mahesh Gour discusses how memory works and offers practical tips for students to improve recall. Students often look for quick tips to improve their memory and focus. But do ...
