Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, ...

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 ...

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

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

In a world saturated with stories—from ancient myths to TikTok clips—narratives knit together emotion, memory, and meaning. A new study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that how a story is told ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory ...

Ever wake up convinced something happened that actually didn’t? That vivid memory of a conversation with your friend, a movie you’re sure you watched, or an event that feels completely real but never ...

Memory expert Dr. Tracy Packiam reveals science-backed strategies to boost learning potential as students return to school. Her research-based approach includes surprisingly simple techniques that can ...

Inflammation in former football players was tied to limbic white matter damage and worse memory, revealing a potential pathway linking repetitive head impacts to later cognitive decline.
