A brief bout of physical exercise can create "ripples" of activity in your brain that help you store and retrieve memories.

The hippocampus is a crucial part of the brain that plays a role in memory and learning, especially in remembering directions ...

It turns out your brain might not be the only part of your body that remembers. Scientists at NYU have found that cells outside the brain—like those from your kidneys—can actually "learn" and form ...

A new study suggests a single exercise session can increase electrical “ripples” in parts of the brain that support memory and learning ability. The research recorded electrical activity directly from ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

Why your brain was never built to remember everything, explained by a neuroscientist ...
