Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health ...

Have you ever put your keys down and then completely forgotten where to find them? The brain has to work hard to protect information in your working memory from distractions. How this process works ...

Researchers measured acetylcholine production in participants' brains at the beginning and end of the 10-week trial.

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 ...

Researchers have identified the specific cell group in the brain that plays a central role in our ability to discriminate familiar and novel things, which is called recognition memory. This discovery ...

A new study reveals how brain circuits between the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus stabilize memories during learning.

Learning to code doesn’t require new brain systems—it builds on the ones we already use for logic and reasoning.

Memory is an essential part of life. From recalling where you left your keys to acing a test, your ability to remember shapes ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and ...

Researchers have discovered “meal memory” neurons in laboratory rats that may explain why forgetting lunch can lead to overeating. Scientists have identified a unique population of brain cells ...

Slow, sleep-like brain waves persist in part of the brain that has been surgically disconnected from the rest of the organ even though the person is awake. The findings 1, published in PLoS Biology, ...
