With a new model of the brain region essential to memory formation, from cells to whole-brain networks, the team hopes to ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new player in Alzheimer’s disease: a protein called CSE that helps produce tiny ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

On average, human memory declines with age. However, there is substantial variation among individuals: some experience a rapid decline, whereas others barely notice a change. With our rapidly aging ...

Sleep has long been understood as essential to human health, but for much of history, scientists treated it as a passive state — a period of downtime when the body simply recovered from the demands of ...

The study shows, for the first time in a realistic setting, the role of ripple-type brain waves in memory encoding and storage. A research team from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of ...

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 ...
