Researchers at the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics and MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have discovered a new brain circuit that shapes memory formation by endowing neurons ...

This is one of Assistant Professor Fred Hoerndli’s favorite quotes. Hoerndli, a neuroscientist in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, and his lab are celebrating a Cell Reports publication that ...

Resembling a seahorse, as its name implies from the Greek words “hippos” (horse) and “kampus” (sea monster), the hippocampus is a brain region crucial for memory formation. But until recently, ...

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 ...

A sustained state of vigilance will generate a different type of memory than a momentary startle, and these differences are linked to distinct signaling molecules in the brains of mice. Researchers at ...

The study shows, for the first time in a realistic setting, the role of ripple-type brain waves in memory encoding and storage. A research team from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of ...

Professor Paul Colombo has studied music-based mentoring, memory, and the benefits of music training over the course of his ...
