Memories are thought to be encoded in the brain as enduring physical and chemical changes, or engrams. Although recent technological advances have enabled substantial progress in our understanding of ...

A research team has discovered new neural circuits that regulate spatial learning and memory in the brain's hippocampal formation. The team identified novel functional roles of new circuit connections ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Memory consolidation is augmented by repeated learning following rest intervals, which is known as the spacing effect. Although the spacing ...

The IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference celebrated its 70 th anniversary in San Francisco, CA. The conference covers all manner of solid-state electronics technology. In this article we ...

A single missing molecule in the brain is emerging as a powerful new clue to why learning and memory are altered in Down ...

Virginia Tech researchers are investigating how overloaded mitochondria in the brain’s memory circuits may spark early Alzheimer’s damage. Their work focuses on calcium signaling and how it might ...

Schematic model showing how memory is consolidated in the prefrontal cortex and how circuitry through the amygdala shifts as hippocampal engram cells become silent and cortical engrams become active.

The internet, social media, and digital technologies have completely transformed the way we establish commercial, personal and professional relationships. At its core, this society relies on the ...

Researchers have revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work sheds light on the fundamentally flexible nature of how ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been described as a one‑way street, a slow erosion of memory that could at best be ...

Researchers found that even a short stretch of eating high-fat meals can disrupt key circuits tied to memory. The good news? There are easy ways to reset your brain. Stacey Leasca is an award-winning ...
