Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Scientists have long suspected that hormones quietly tune how the brain learns, but the idea of a single, hidden “switch” has usually been more metaphor than map. What is emerging from decades of ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Memory doesn’t live only in the brain. Scientists are uncovering signs that cells throughout the body can remember, too. These findings are starting to challenge old ideas about how and where memory ...

As people grow older, the same brain chemistry that once supported sharp thinking and stable mood can quietly start to work ...

LA JOLLA, CA – Using cutting-edge genetic tools, 3D electron microscopy, and artificial intelligence, Scripps Research scientists and colleagues have uncovered key structural hallmarks of long-term ...

Scientists uncovered a surprising four-layer structure hidden inside the hippocampal CA1 region, one of the brain’s major centers for memory, navigation, and emotion. Using advanced RNA imaging ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for learning and memory. Results of the study, published in the journal Science ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

In his new book, neuroscientist Steve Ramirez delves in the fast-growing field of memory manipulation, which is being explored as a treatment for depression and other mental health conditions. Reading ...
