A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory accuracy but increases the spread of associations across the hippocampal ...

A research team led by Lee Hyun Jun and Noh Hee Yeon from the Division of Nanotechnology at DGIST has succeeded in ...

A new neuromorphic device controls hydrogen ions to mimic synaptic learning and memory, achieved for the first time in a vertical two-terminal architecture.

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 ...

BDNF is protective for the brain and plays a crucial role in learning and memory. Researchers have found that exercise boosts BDNF levels. The post How does exercise boost learning and memory? The ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...
