This post was co-written by Dr. Deryn Strange, professor of forensic psychology at John Jay College. Our memories are not perfect reconstructions of the past. Instead, remembering a past event is a ...

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 ...

A new study explores the structural basis of memory formation in the mouse brain, revealing how neurons reorganize their connections via multi-synaptic boutons. The findings challenge traditional ...

Whether it’s a first-time visit to a zoo or when we learned to ride a bicycle, we have memories from our childhoods kept well into adult years. But what explains how these memories last nearly an ...

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 ...
