Researchers identify a region of the hippocampus which is sensitive to small changes in familiar context. Read More
A new study indicates periods of rest can help boost memory performance. Read More
The more depressed a person is, the harder it is for them to distinguish between similar items or experiences, a new study finds. Read More
Using transgenic mice, researchers find a lack of autophagy in neurons prevents the secretion of amyloid beta and the formation of β-amyloid plaques in the brain. Read More
Researchers have found a link between a commonly prescribed statin drug and cognitive impairment, according to a new study. Read More
A new study reports bad experiences enhance memory formation about places. Read More
Researchers find brain regions associated with memory shrink as adults age. This decrease in size is more pronounced in those who later develop neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. Read More
Researchers discover a gene essential for memory extinction. The finding could lead to new treatments for PTSD. Read More
Researchers have identified a group of proteins essential to the formation of long-term memories. Read More
Researchers create new and specific memories by directly manipulating brain cells in the cerebral cortex of rodents. Read More
Researchers erase drug associated memories in mice and rats without affecting other memories. Read More
