For decades, scientists have focused on the brain as the primary location for memory storage and processing. However, recent groundbreaking research from is challenging this long-standing assumption, ...

“It’s important to understand what’s happening at a molecular level during a memory update because, as humans, most of our memories are updates. We’re constantly building on things we already know and ...

Scientists at Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience discovered a parallel pathway for forming long-term memories that bypasses short-term memory. Using optogenetics, they blocked short-term ...

Fumbling for the right words is frustrating. Why do I feel this way? It didn’t used to be this hard to think. Memory problems and brain fog, which are distressing symptoms for many people, make ...
