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

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

The activity of Snhg11, a gene found in the 'dark matter' of the genome, is critical for the function and formation of neurons in the hippocampus, specifically in an area critical for learning and ...

Talking to oneself is a trait which feels inherently human - but it’s not just humans who can reap the benefits of such ...

Stressful study sessions help us pass exams, but curiosity promotes long-term understanding and information retention. In A ...

For decades, scientists have focused on the brain as the primary location for memory storage and processing. However, recent groundbreaking research from is challenging this long-standing assumption, ...

MemRL separates stable reasoning from dynamic memory, giving AI agents continual learning abilities without model fine-tuning ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

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, ...

One of sleep’s key functions is to stabilize and integrate new memories into our brain’s long-term memory systems, a process known as "consolidation." This idea is now widely accepted, though it ...
