Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with novices, which probably help them better identify ...

The brain may inadvertently "learn" to have seizures by treating them like important memories to be stored, according to new ...

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 ...

The brain reinforces seizure networks during post-seizure sleep by hijacking the same mechanisms used for memory consolidation.

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

A 20-year study found a brain game that boosts speed and splits attention helped prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

The traditional model of memory proposes that different types of long term memory are processed in separate brain modules.

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 ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...

Taking up a new language offers a plethora of benefits.

For decades, most scientists treated the spinal cord as little more than a biological cable. The brain gave orders, the ...
