A new study reveals the role synaptic feedback systems play in shaping learning processes. The findings could help develop more efficient artificial intelligence techniques.
Researchers discover a protein switch which can increase or decrease memory building, depending on the signal it detects.
Researchers have identified a novel role the RGS14 protein plays in limiting synaptic plasticity.
A new, light controllable tool has been developed that allows researchers to explore CaMKII kinetics in memory and learning.
A new study questions traditional views of how memories are formed and stored in the brain. Additionally, researchers propose a new mechanism for learning.
The strength of a memory depends upon the number of receptors in a synapse, researchers report.
Researchers have discovered a new learning rule for a specific type of excitatory synaptic connection in the hippocampus.
Visceral fat impairs memory via proinflammatory interleukin-1 beta mediated microglia activation in the hippocampus.
Electrical stimulation of the hippocampus activates the same receptor complexes as memory recall and learning, a new study reveals.
Findings could help in the development of new prevention options and treatments for drug addiction, researchers report.
Researchers explain some of the biological mechanisms behind memory consolidation.
A new study reveals the piriform cortex is able to archive long term memory, but requires instruction from the orbiotfrontal cortex to indicate the event is to be stored as a long-term memory.
