Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking ...

The aLTP process is activated when the brain is temporarily deprived of oxygen and glutamate levels increase. If aLTP is maintained for an extended period, this hijacks the normal functioning of the ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from the ...

New research provides evidence that the brain’s ability to process signals and adapt to new information fluctuates ...

(a) Diagram illustrating the ion channel activity in post-synaptic neurons. AMPA receptors are involved in the activation of post-synaptic neurons, while NMDA receptors are blocked by magnesium ions ...

Memory formation, storage, and retrieval are fundamental processes that define who we are and how we interact with the world. At the cellular level, these processes rely on specialized neurons called ...

Researchers have identified an enzyme that's key to updating existing memories with new information, a process that declines naturally with age. Blocking the enzyme reduced memory impairment, opening ...

Writing for The Conversation (republished below), researchers Jaideep Kapur, director of the University of Virginia Brain Institute, and Anastasia Brodovskaya, a UVA postdoctoral fellow in neurology, ...
