Fascinating new findings into how clusters of 'brain stars' retain memories has changed what we know about how they're held in our minds.

A breakthrough discovery in indium selenide could revolutionize memory storage technology by enabling crystalline-to-glass ...

New research reveals that cells outside the brain can store and process memories, challenging the view that memory is limited ...

If you ever tried cramming all your learning in one night before the exam, you know it doesn't usually work. Surprisingly, ...

Remarkably, each neuron can form thousands of these connections. Similar to computers, we measure the brain’s memory storage in “bits,” and the number of bits it can hold rests on the number and ...

An analysis of brains at various stages of Alzheimer's found that neurons called inhibitory neurons are the first to be affected by the disease.

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory.

Mount Sinai researchers have discovered for the first time a neural mechanism for memory integration that stretches across both time and personal experience.

Results indicate that a distinct ensemble of astrocytes selectively coordinates the consolidation and recall of a particular memory.

A new study changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons that respond to learning events and control memory recall.

Astrocytes, non-neuronal brain cells, have been shown to work alongside neurons to store and recall memories, reshaping our ...
