The most notable for me is that research demonstrates how we can influence our longevity by making small consistent changes.

It turns out your brain might not be the only part of your body that remembers. Scientists at NYU have found that cells outside the brain—like those from your kidneys—can actually "learn" and form ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of neurons communicate together often, the connections ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and memory. Older adults using BrainHQ for 10 weeks showed restored cholinergic ...
