Why do memories fade in Alzheimer's disease—and can they be restored? University of California, Irvine researchers have ...

But new research published in Neuropsychopharmacology suggests the relationship between sleep, caffeine and brain function ...

UC Irvine scientists have identified severe dopamine depletion in the entorhinal cortex as a key driver of memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease. In mouse models, restoring dopamine with optogenetics or ...

Recent research has shown that non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in particular, can modulate core memory ...

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 ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

On average, human memory declines with age. However, there is substantial variation among individuals: some experience a rapid decline, whereas others barely notice a change. With our rapidly aging ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports ...

New insight into the process that converts experiences into stable long-term memories has been uncovered by neurobiologists from the University of California, Irvine and the University of Queensland.

That constant tab-switching habit might be doing more harm to your brain than you think. We’ve all been there – responding to emails while joining a Zoom call, scrolling social media during a TV show, ...

While hazy memories are a common side effect of smoking cannabis, a new study has suggested that it can make those memories ...

The pursuit of maintaining sharp memory and cognitive vitality throughout life has led to remarkable discoveries about the powerful connection between diet and brain health. Recent evidence points to ...
