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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work sheds light on the fundamentally flexible nature of how ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

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 ...

Memory doesn’t live only in the brain. Scientists are uncovering signs that cells throughout the body can remember, too. These findings are starting to challenge old ideas about how and where memory ...

Memory acts as the invisible thread linking our past experiences to present awareness, shaping who we are and how we learn. Far from being fixed, though, memory is a dynamic system. It's constantly ...

Memory is the process by which information and data is encoded, stored and retrieved. "What did I eat for breakfast this morning?" "Where did I leave my car keys?" "Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb?" ...

In a world saturated with stories—from ancient myths to TikTok clips—narratives knit together emotion, memory, and meaning. A new study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that how a story is told ...
