Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

Erasing a memory like throwing away an old receipt? Forgetting a difficult breakup like deleting an old voicemail? It's an idea that makes you dream, or even shudder. This "science fiction fantasy" is ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human brain forms, stores and recalls visual memories. A new study, published in ...

A recent paper published in Engineering titled “Machine Memory Intelligence: Inspired by Human Memory Mechanisms” explores a novel approach to AIby drawing inspiration from the human brain’s memory ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...
