A new study shows that prolonging cellular energy in brain cells helps transform fleeting experiences into lasting memories.

In former college and professional football players, a new study has found higher levels of inflammation were associated with ...

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

In the world of Harry Potter, one’s memory can be manipulated with the flick of a wand. Albus Dumbledore reels wispy memories out of his head and puts them in a Pensieve. If he later dunks his head in ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a group of researchers assessed whether dendritic spine head diameter in the temporal cortex is a better predictor of episodic memory performance in ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Researchers identify the Functional-Structural Ratio (FSR) as the biological link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline, offering a potential new biomarker for dementia risk.

When teenagers shift their sleep schedules between school days and weekends, the resulting mismatch can alter the physical ...

Long working hours may alter the structure of the brain, particularly the areas associated with emotional regulation and executive function, such as working memory and problem solving, suggest the ...

Canadian researchers examined the brains of bird-watchers and found expertise could help cognitive health.
