Long-term memory emerges from a sequence of molecular programs that sort, stabilize, and reinforce important experiences.

In A Nutshell Lab-grown human brain cells spontaneously organize into precise firing sequences without any sensory experience ...

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific ...

New research shows that long-term memory is not stored by a single molecular switch, but by a sequence of timed genetic programs unfolding across different brain regions.

Learn how the brain sorts fleeting moments from lasting memories using a multi-stage molecular process.

MIT researchers have discovered how an immune system molecule triggers neurons in a specific brain circuit to shut down social behavior in mice modeling infection.

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to ...

Between 30 to 50 percent of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) will experience memory problems but the cause is uncertain. Brain lesions are the hallmark imaging sign used to diagnose MS and ...
