Copper-based drug clears toxic Alzheimer's proteins in mice, opening a promising new path to restore memory function.

A new study changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons that respond to learning events and control memory recall.

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the Stowers Institute has identified the mechanism that makes a fleeting moment ...

Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully grown living brain tissue in a laboratory setting. This advancement not only opens new doors for neuroscience but also raises ...

The Semiconductor Device Research Laboratory (SDRL) is working on manufacturing semiconductors in space and using memory technology based on the mechanisms of the brain. The SDRL is researching how to ...

When my late lab partner Xu Liu and I first illuminated the brain cells that stored a particular memory, it felt like watching a thought flicker back to life. We stimulated a constellation of neurons ...

We often think of memories like the contents of a museum: static exhibits that we view to understand the present and prepare for the future. The latest research, however, suggests they are more like ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: keeping a simulated pole balanced upright. The ...
