Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

A new study reveals how the brain's memory centre becomes more efficient with age, shedding excess connections to sharpen ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns fuzzy. In Alzheimer’s disease, that slide can look even steeper. Yet the brain ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Neurons aren’t just brain cells—they’re intricate biological machines that transmit, process, and adapt to information using both electrical and chemical signals. Supported by glial cells, they form ...

What if our memories didn't solely rely on neurons? A recent study explores the surprising hypothesis that astrocytes - star-shaped brain cells - might play a much more important role in memory than ...

Researchers at Leipzig University have gained important insights into learning mechanisms in the brain of the fruit fly ...

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 ...

We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...
