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

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 ...

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

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the information of a memory and are reactivated when we remember, which makes ...

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 ...

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 ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

The barrel cortex, a specialised region within the rodent somatosensory cortex, plays a central role in the processing of tactile information derived from the whiskers. Recent studies have elucidated ...
