However, we now have strong evidence of at least two distinct pathways to memory formation—one dedicated to short-term memories and another to long-term memories. This could mean our brains are ...

Scientists have uncovered a crucial pathway that links brain cell activity to the activation of genes responsible for ...

Learning is more effective when retrieval is varied and spaced over time, not repetitive. Variety strengthens memory pathways ...

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their ...

Heavy lifetime cannabis use is associated with reduced brain activation in key cognitive regions, particularly during working ...

Long-term memory is information encoded in the brain on the time-scale of years. It consists of explicit (declarative) memories that are consciously reportable and depend heavily on the medial ...

A breakthrough study sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for learning and memory.

This study demonstrates how long-distance communication in neurons works in the brain, which is key to sustaining the brain's plasticity and ...

This accumulation could elevate their risk of developing late-onset amyloid-related disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
