What if your brain could improve faster than you think? Here’s how a 12-week plan can boost focus, memory, and mental energy.

There isn’t a hard line differentiating a false memory and simply misremembering where you put your keys. But, in general, ...

How do we hear, and how does hearing affect how we play music? These questions are central to the work of Nikolas Alejandro ...

Researchers identified a chaperone protein, Funes, that triggers controlled amyloid formation in fruit fly neurons to ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...

This video explains how memories form and persist, exploring the roles of neurons, synapses, and brain regions involved in learning, recall, and long-term storage.

When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...

A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes. The findings, from ...

A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...
