Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.

Neuroscientists say they have found a new function for the SYNGAP1 gene, a DNA sequence that controls memory and learning in mammals, including mice and humans. Johns Hopkins Medicine neuroscientists ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained cognitive stimulation can help preserve brain connectivity and memory in ...

Keeping the brain active from an early age may help protect memory and brain connections later in life, even in the presence of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study from researchers at the ...
