Sleep is a universal biological state that allows all animals, from mammals to amphibians, fish and even insects, to restore ...

Challenging the brain by exposing it to new situations, tasks and skills can improve its efficiency, much like strength ...

Ageing slows neuronal protein degradation in mice, leading to widespread accumulation and aggregation of long-lived proteins, particularly at synapses. As neuronal clearance declines, microglia ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

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

Drinks like green tea, coffee, berry smoothies, and others contain nutrients that can help support memory, focus, and overall brain health.

A novel stacked memristor architecture performs Euclidean distance calculations directly within memory, enabling ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia.

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...
