Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

“If we go back to the early 1900s, this is when the idea was first proposed that memories are physically stored in some location within the brain,” says Michael R. Williamson, a researcher at the ...

An experimental study in the United States found that having a conversational AI insert slight misinformation into ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Certain cognitive skills help improve memory naturally. Strengthening focus, logic, language, and emotional control can ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is was previously unknown. Now, a team of ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...

Memory acts as the invisible thread linking our past experiences to present awareness, shaping who we are and how we learn. Far from being fixed, though, memory is a dynamic system. It's constantly ...
