The possibility of erasing a memory is as much a dream as it is frightening. It raises profoundly human questions. Science is advancing, and with it, new tools are emerging.

Little-known cells might be key to human brain’s massive memory A new model suggests that astrocytes might be used in computation, coordinating with neurons and connecting synapses in networks.

The human brain shrinks as it ages, affecting the ability to remember — it’s part of life. Yet there are a lucky few, called “SuperAgers,” who possess a brain that fights back. For these ...

The future of computing could be shaped by a new kind of memory called resistive random access memory, or ReRAM. Unlike ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain ...

Memory Are Humans Running Out of Memory? Human memory is limited, and we may be running out of space. Posted April 28, 2025 | Reviewed by Davia Sills ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections ...

Understanding how sleep quality influences the glymphatic system and human brain networks offers valuable insight into the neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning age-related memory change ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have developed a new class of programmable nanofluidic memristors that mimic the memory functions of the human brain ...
