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 ...

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

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

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

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 ...

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

When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of neurons communicate together often, the connections ...

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

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Maintaining mental sharpness in today’s fast-paced world is more crucial than ever. With the increasing demands on our cognitive abilities, people seek practical solutions to enhance their memory and ...

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, ...
