Memory loss with age isn’t always gradual. For some, it suddenly accelerates, leaving people alarmed at how quickly their ...

Memories don’t live everywhere in the brain. They’re stored in small clusters of neurons called engrams that fire again when a memory is recalled. Research over the past decade has mapped these memory ...

Stress is the brain’s natural response to fear, but it often disrupts memory in the process, potentially impacting the possibility of memory loss. When preparing for a big presentation or taking a ...

Memory representations are fundamental to human cognition, yet their integrity can be compromised with advancing age. Recent research has elucidated complex molecular and circuit-level mechanisms ...

Memory loss may not simply be a symptom of getting older. New research from Virginia Tech shows that it's tied to specific molecular changes in the brain and that adjusting those processes can improve ...

Katherine Duncan doesn’t experience memory the way most people do. She can’t vividly relive the past or picture it in her mind. That personal trait sparked a two-decade-long quest to understand why ...

New research from Japan suggests that the bitter compounds in dark chocolate may briefly boost brain alertness and memory performance. Eating a small bit of dark chocolate might do more than just hit ...

Groundbreaking research from NYU reveals non-neural human cells can remember chemical signals. This challenges the long-held belief that only the brain stores memories. Cells exposed to spaced signals ...
