While sleep's positive impact on cognition has long been recognized, Baycrest researchers have revealed that a good night's sleep may actively enhance memory rather than simply protect it from decline ...

Experiments point to how scientists can strengthen or weaken memories, which may eventually lead to treatments for Alzheimer’s disease or PTSD.

A new paper in Engineering titled “Machine Memory Intelligence: Inspired by Human Memory Mechanisms” presents an approach to ...

memory formation hinges on connections between groups of engram cells, which are neurons thought to capture and store ...

Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

A recent study found that taking daily protein and prebiotics could sharpen aging brains. Doctors weigh in on the ...

Past neuroscience and psychology studies have shown that after the human brain encodes specific events or information, it can ...

Short-term memory loss can be a sign of early-stage Alzheimer's disease. It can manifest as difficulty creating new memories or problems retrieving them. For example, someone with early Alzheimer's ...

However, new research has not only challenged this view, it has simultaneously spawned a new mystery surrounding human evolution. Using full genome sequencing, researchers discovered that modern ...

For decades, psychologists and neuroscientists have propagated a dismal picture of the human mind. We are told that far from being rational, most of what we think and do is propelled by irrational ...
