Neurons that are responsible for new experiences interfere with the signals of neurons that contain memories and thereby disturb the recall of memories – at least in mice. The research group of Martin ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

Discover how CREB proteins in amygdala neurons play a role in managing fearful memories and selective amnesia in new research. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about propranolol, a drug that can erase ...

As far back as Plato and Aristotle, people believed that our memories had to be physical somethings that were stored somewhere in the brain. But only in modern times have we learned much about what ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, led by Bindu Paul, an associate professor of pharmacology, psychiatry and neuroscience ...

Ron Davis, chair of the Department of Neuroscience at Scripps Florida, and research association Ayako Tonoki-Yamaguchi, investigated memory and memory traces in the brains of both young and old fruit ...

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

What if our memories didn't solely rely on neurons? A recent study explores the surprising hypothesis that astrocytes - star-shaped brain cells - might play a much more important role in memory than ...

How many neurons are there in the human brain? It was a question that scientists thought they had nailed – and the answer was 100bn (give or take). If you went looking you would find that figure ...
