Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

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

Presented at IEDM 2016, Breakthrough Suggests Path to Embedding Neuromorphic Learning in Low-power Devices that Could Enable Autonomous Systems Leti researchers have demonstrated that memristive ...

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show ...

A longevity-linked metabolite restored key memory processes in Alzheimer’s models, highlighting aging biology as a promising therapeutic target. Singapore ranks among the countries with the longest ...

Neuroscientists have long speculated that information storage would likely be more permanent if changes in synaptic strength were accompanied by some sort of morphological alteration in the brain, in ...

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Singapore has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, yet many individuals spend almost a decade in poor health toward the end of life. Scientists from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, ...
