Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds and contains 80 to 100 billion neurons, which are the cells that store information. But how do these cells store information? How do we retrieve that ...

Recognition memory research encompasses a diverse range of models and decision processes that characterise how individuals differentiate between previously encountered stimuli and novel items. At the ...

A new brain imaging study shows that the hippocampus (green) is the brain's master storyteller, weaving memories of past events into a coherent narrative. Image: Brendan Cohn-Sheehy, Center for ...

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 ...

New research has revealed how the tau protein, a critical element in the formation of Alzheimer's disease, is also involved in normal learning processes in the healthy brain -- potentially providing a ...
