Memory loss may not simply be a symptom of getting older. New research from Virginia Tech shows that it's tied to specific molecular changes in the brain and that adjusting those processes can improve ...

Groundbreaking research from NYU reveals non-neural human cells can remember chemical signals. This challenges the long-held belief that only the brain stores memories. Cells exposed to spaced signals ...

Stress is the brain’s natural response to fear, but it often disrupts memory in the process, potentially impacting the possibility of memory loss. When preparing for a big presentation or taking a ...

Researchers have investigated how sleep affects memory. They found a link between breathing and the emergence of certain brain activity patterns in sleep that are associated with the reactivation of ...

Memories don’t live everywhere in the brain. They’re stored in small clusters of neurons called engrams that fire again when a memory is recalled. Research over the past decade has mapped these memory ...

University of Reading researchers in the U.K. study memory formation and destruction from a robot controlling its own movements with rodent brain matter. In a software-driven world, it's easy to ...
