Stanford Medicine researchers have identified a specific gut bacterium that accelerates memory loss in aging mice, and they ...

The brain and the microbiome are in constant communication and maintaining that connection as we age could be key to avoiding—or even reversing—cognitive decline.

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

A study in mice concluded that memory problems associated with age may be driven by our gut microbiome and that the vagus ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

“If we go back to the early 1900s, this is when the idea was first proposed that memories are physically stored in some location within the brain,” says Michael R. Williamson, a researcher at the ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

The doctor quoted new researchers who observed a surge in high-frequency brain waves known as 'ripples' immediately following a brief session on a bicycle. These ripples originate in the hippocampus, ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...
