Scientists just identified sequentially operating molecular 'timers' that decide what the brain stores as a memory and what it lets slip away
Every day, your brain is flooded with experiences, yet only a fraction survive past the next morning. A new study published ...
Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns fuzzy. In Alzheimer’s disease, that slide can look even steeper. Yet the brain ...
Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

The hippocampus may not start life as a blank slate — a new study just showed its memory circuits are pre-wired and densely tangled from day one
For decades, neuroscientists assumed the hippocampus, the brain’s memory hub, started out mostly empty and built its wiring ...
As far back as Plato and Aristotle, people believed that our memories had to be physical somethings that were stored somewhere in the brain. But only in modern times have we learned much about what ...
Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...
