Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a new study led by NYU Langone ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

A new study reveals how brain circuits between the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus stabilize memories during learning.

AURORA, Colo. (Jan. 22, 2025) – A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their ...

Cooperating neurons form the physical structure of a memory, but how these assemblies form and persist as long-term memories still stumps scientists. After an event, brain activity increases in the ...

When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of neurons communicate together often, the connections ...

New research reveals that astrocytes — not neurons — are responsible for stabilizing emotional memories by re-engaging during recall.

The human working memory (WM) is the cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information vital to task completion. In contrast, human long-term memory (LTM) is the ...

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health ...

Distinguished Professor Kaoru Inokuchi and Specially Appointed Assistant Professor Khaled Ghandour explain the rationale, goals, and main findings of this research, which focuses on the importance of ...

What's the biochemical basis for our learning and storing the names, events, sights, and sounds that stay with us for a lifetime? Can we, in fact, reduce and explain these bits of nostalgia in terms ...
