A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain's memory center, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create memories of meals, encoding not just what food was eaten but when it was eaten. The findings, published in Nature Communications, ...

Researchers at Tsukuba University in Japan report that memories acquired while awake are stored in a more permanent form (called memory consolidation) during the REM stage of sleep, and that this ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

As far back as Plato and Aristotle, people believed that our memories had to be physical somethings that were stored somewhere in the brain. But only in modern times have we learned much about what ...

Cooperating neurons form the physical structure of a memory, but how these assemblies form and persist as long-term memories still stumps scientists. After an event, brain activity increases in the ...
