Our brains generate a constant hum of activity: As neurons fire, they produce brain waves that oscillate at different frequencies. Long thought to be merely a byproduct of neuron activity, recent ...

脳は絶え間なく電気信号である脳波を生み出していて、脳波は長い間ニューロンの活動による副産物だと考えられてきました。しかし、MITの研究により、ある2つの脳の部分が異なる脳波を発生させ記憶形成に重要な役割を果たしていることが明らかにされ ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

Blocking microglia prevents infant forgetting and improves memory in mice, suggesting they play a key role in memory ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) and Duke University ...

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

Researchers have been fascinated for a long time by learning and memory formation, and many questions are still open. Bochum-based neuroscientists Prof Dr Denise Manahan-Vaughan and Dr Hardy Hagena ...

Groundbreaking research from NYU reveals non-neural human cells can remember chemical signals. This challenges the long-held belief that only the brain stores memories. Cells exposed to spaced signals ...

Certain cognitive skills help improve memory naturally. Strengthening focus, logic, language, and emotional control can ...
