An aged mouse finishes its last lap on a running wheel, and within hours something unexpected happens: its liver floods 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 ...

Boosting the production of new neurons in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) leads to the rescue of memory formation, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of Illinois ...

The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, and for decades scientists have assumed that these cells are the primary ...

A new study shows that tau helps organize and preserve long-term memories, while abnormal tau may contribute to memory ...

These findings therefore reveal that aversive memory formation in humans depends on an amygdala-hippocampus "phase code": The amygdala coordinates the neuronal activity in the hippocampus, ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

Researchers have found that cells in the rat hippocampus -- a brain region that is essential for making memories -- are specifically organized into small clusters when fear-based memories are formed.

The aLTP process is activated when the brain is temporarily deprived of oxygen and glutamate levels increase. If aLTP is maintained for an extended period, this hijacks the normal functioning of the ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...
