Manipulating important non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes using light prevented fear memories from being retained long-term, according to new research. The findings add to growing evidence ...

Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

Episodic memory is a type of long-term memory. It helps you remember the time, place, and details surrounding a specific event or experience in your life. For example, remembering what you had for ...

An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic capacity of neurons can enhance long-term memory in both fruit flies and ...

It's incredibly powerful—and doable, too.

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...
