Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the information of a memory and are reactivated when we remember, which makes ...

A longevity-linked metabolite restored key memory processes in Alzheimer’s models, highlighting aging biology as a promising therapeutic target. Singapore ranks among the countries with the longest ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

A new study shows that the human brain stores what we remember and the context in which it happens using different neurons.

A study tracking thousands of neurons shows how the brain separates memory content from context to support flexible recall.

Researchers identify "meal memory" neurons in laboratory rats that could explain why forgetting lunch leads to overeating. Scientists have discovered a specific group of brain cells that create ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

“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 ...
