Manipulating important non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes using light prevented fear memories from being retained long-term, according to new research. The findings add to growing evidence ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified ...

Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, creative process that reconstructs the past each time we reach for it.

Episodic memory is a type of long-term memory. It helps you remember the time, place, and details surrounding a specific event or experience in your life. For example, remembering what you had for ...

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to ...

Elephants are widely admired for their wisdom, emotional depth, and striking intelligence, but one trait stands out above all: their remarkable long-term memory. According to a study published in the ...

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 ...
