Researchers are testing a new approach to repair early memory loss by protecting brain connections affected in Alzheimer’s ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

AURORA, Colo. (Jan. 22, 2025) – A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their ...

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, ...

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

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

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, ...
