Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

New research suggests that the natural rhythm of breathing plays an important role in organizing the brain activity required for human memory. The study indicates that successful memory retrieval is ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...

Networks of molecules in our body behave as though they have goals and desires. Understanding this phenomenon could solve the ...

SINGAPORE: A local study has shown that a naturally occurring molecule, which is commonly studied for its anti-ageing effects, could improve communication between brain cells and restore key ...

Before smartphones rewired our brains, an entire generation developed nine distinct mental superpowers that modern psychology is only now beginning to understand—and they might explain why your ...

Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

We implement our memory mechanism with no changes to Transformer model by adding special memory tokens and linear-attention style associative memory. The model is trained to control both memory ...

Scientists studying the biology of aging have identified a naturally occurring molecule that appears to restore key brain functions disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease. In experimental models, the ...

This important work significantly advances our understanding of the role of human hippocampal theta oscillations in memory encoding and retrieval. The evidence supporting the conclusions is solid, ...
