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

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

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

How do we hear, and how does hearing affect how we play music? These questions are central to the work of Nikolas Alejandro ...

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

A longevity-linked metabolite restored key memory processes in Alzheimer’s models, highlighting aging biology as a promising therapeutic target. Singapore ranks among the countries with the longest ...

A new study has found that as little as a short nap in the afternoon can help improve brain function, recovery, boost ...

We often think of memories like the contents of a museum: static exhibits that we view to understand the present and prepare ...
