Does the hippocampus only track location? A new study shows how the brain's memory center shifts activity between anterior ...

The hippocampus is a crucial part of the brain that plays a role in memory and learning, especially in remembering directions ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly large reserve of “silent synapses” in the adult brain—unused neural connections that can be rapidly activated to store new memories.

But you can also get your memory working more effectively. Here are five easy steps for improving both your working and ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...

Nelson Dellis credits techniques like the method of loci for his extraordinary memory. Now, brain scans have revealed the ...

Researchers found that expert birders show structural differences in areas linked to attention and perception.

By working on improving the 5 pillars of brain health, anyone—at any age—can tap into the rejuvenating power of ...

Using an experimental drug called FP802, researchers blocked the protein pair from binding and saw effects of the disease—such as cell death —slow significantly. According to the research team, future ...

A new deep-brain BCI from Tsinghua University uses the lateral ventricles to record neural signals. This "lantern" electrode ...
