Scientists have now discovered how different brain regions cooperate during short-term memory. Holding information within one’s memory for a short...
A new study indicates periods of rest can help boost memory performance.
Researchers identify the sleep mechanism which enables the brain to consolidate emotional memory. Additionally, they discovered a popular sleep medication heightens the response to and recollection of negative memories.
The naturally occurring insulin-like growth factor (IGF-II) improved memory and slowed forgetting in rats according to new research.
If only there were a way to forget that humiliating faux pas at last night's dinner party. It turns out there's not one, but two opposite ways in which the brain allows us to voluntarily forget unwanted memories, according to research.
Researchers have identified biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease which accurately predict the development of the disease years prior to symptoms developing.
Scientists found that adverse listening situations are difficult for the brain, partly because they draw on the same, limited resources supporting our short-term memory. The new findings are particularly relevant to understanding the cognitive consequences of hearing damage, a condition that affects an increasing number of people.
It’s something we just accept: the fact that the older we get, the more difficulty we seem to have remembering...
MicroRNAs key to memory and learning process. Studying tiny bits of genetic material that control protein formation in the brain,...
Researchers recently developed a system for observing real-time brain activity in a live mouse. The device could prove useful in studying new treatments for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Whole brain neuroimaging study reveals the neural networks involved in retrieving long-term memories during decision making.
Researchers describe in detail the underlying neurobiology of the "world's second most famous amnesiac", EP, who suffered profound memory loss after damage to key portions of his brain.
