When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

As far back as Plato and Aristotle, people believed that our memories had to be physical somethings that were stored somewhere in the brain. But only in modern times have we learned much about what ...

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

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 ...

“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 ...

Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming ...

We’re aware that a good night’s sleep helps to restore energy, but a new study in rats and mice, carried by scientists at Cornell University, has found that sleep also resets another vital function, ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.
