Researchers have identified a neural process which could help restore lost memories and bury bad memories.
According to a new study, neurons in the dorsal hippocampus are activated by consuming sweet foods, helping form a memory of the meal.
New findings revise the current models for homeostatic control, researchers report.
Researchers believe they may have found a reason for that all too well known holiday phenomenon, a 'food coma'.
Researchers reveal a protein essential for memory and cognition looks and acts like a protein from a virus.
A new study, using mouse models, demonstrates sensory deprivation can activate the brain to rewire networks following a stroke. The findings could have major implications for stroke rehabilitation in humans.
Researchers report on the role the arcuate nucleus plays in metabolic regulation and appetite suppression following exercise.
A new study suggests a lack of cognitive flexibility and ability to retain new information may be a result of the Arc protein not being fully switched off.
Based on the actions of Arc, when one synapse strengthens, the neighboring synapses weaken, a new study reveals.
Researchers report the gamma-CaMPII protein plays a critical role in learning and memory. The shuttle protein may be dysfunctional in those with Schizophrenia and autism, hindering learning abilities, researchers report.
Adolescent rats exposed to alcohol had a decrease of both Arc eRNA expression and Arc gene expression in the amygdala during adulthood. Additionally, the alcohol-exposed rats displayed increased anxiety behaviors as they aged.
The protein ACBP directly influences neurons that help both rodents and humans maintain a healthy weight.
