Study reveals how the mechanism for storing olfactory memories differs slightly from erasing unnecessary memories. Understanding how the brain gets rid of unimportant memories could help unlock new avenues of research to better understand memory loss in aging, researchers say.

What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
Researchers shed light on the role Synaptotagmin 7 plays in neurotransmission in inhibitory synapses.
Writing magnetic patterns onto nanowires could help computers better mimic how the brain processes information, a new study reports.
Researchers link physical fitness in children to increased gray matter volume in areas of the brain implicated in language processing and reading skills.
A new study reveals the holiday spice cinnamon may be a useful tool in the battle against obesity. Researchers report cinnamaldehyde can improve metabolic health by inducing fat cells to burn energy through a process called thermogenesis.
Chemotherapy is often blamed for memory loss and cognitive problems in cancer survivors. However, new research published in Neuroscience challenges this belief. Researchers report cognitive impairments, often referred to as Chemo Fog, may actually start as the tumor grows and develops.
Heart rate variability can indicate whether a person has bipolar disorder or major depression, a new study reports.
Researchers report an elevated risk of death in Alzheimer's patients who use benzodiazapines.
New rodent model helps researchers discover it is ingenuity and not habit that sustains addiction.
Researchers discover common and specific changes to the brain's gray matter in patients with major depressive disorder and social anxiety disorder.
Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, researchers were able to increase and decrease people's enjoyment of music; and desire to listen to more.
New theory of suggests the brain's dynamic properties are the best predictors of human intelligence.
