Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in the world, but current anti-depressants have yet to meet the needs of many patients. Neuroscientists recently discovered a small molecule that ...

During consolidation, the brain produces new proteins that strengthen fragile memory traces. However, if a new experience occurs while an existing memory trace is being consolidated, the new stimuli ...

Scientists show that a protein synthesis dependent process blocks new learning just after waking, thereby preventing the disruption of memory stabilization which occurs during sleep - Throughout our ...

Professor He (left), and the co-first authors of the paper, including Ms Fang Wei (center) and Dr Muhammad Asim (right). Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in the world, but current ...

Many neuroscientists would agree that the human brain is like Silly Putty, that incredibly malleable children’s plaything, in that learning can constantly reshape the ways in which neurons connect ...

“Fragmented memory” describes all of a system’s unusable free memory. These resources remain unused because the memory allocator responsible for allocating them cannot make the memory available. This ...

The need for speed to process neural networks is far less a matter of processor capabilities and much more a function of memory bandwidth. As the compute capability rises, so too does the need to keep ...
