Neuroscientists appear to have implanted memories in mice and appear to have located where the brain stores memory traces, both false and authentic.
Researchers discover a low dose of psilocybin erased conditioned fear responses in mice. They suggest the agent could be a potential treatment for PTSD and related conditions.
A new study pinpoints an effect which makes people turn their attention to something new, rather than dwell on their most recent thoughts. The findings could have implications for studying disorders such as ADHD and autism.
Whole brain neuroimaging study reveals the neural networks involved in retrieving long-term memories during decision making.
Researchers discover a pathway by which the brain controls a molecule critical to forming long-term memories, and is connected to some psychiatric disorders.
Using optical neuroimaging, researchers gain a better understanding of visual working memory in young children.
Using a line of genetically modified mice, researchers discover boosting acetylcholine can disturb cognitive function.
Researchers have discovered a neural pathway in which the brain controls a specific molecule, connected to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia which is also critical to the formation of long term memory.
Researchers discover memory improved in mice after injecting them with a small, drug like molecule while studying how cells respond to biological stress.
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.
Researchers have discovered how the Arc protein regulates neuronal activity, providing clues into the brain's ability to form long-term memories.
Modifying the levels of tomosyn protein in the hippocampus of mice, researchers noted over production of the protein led to a sharp decline in the ability to learn and memorize information.
