Growth hormone, known for regulating height and physical development, has been found to be deeply involved in the brain's ...

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a metabolic switch in the immune system's T cells that is essential to the generation of memory T cells - which confer lasting immunity to previously ...

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 ...

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers. Published online in Science on Oct. 30, the study shows that ...

When we form a memory, brain cells need to deliver supplies to strengthen specific neural connections. A new study from MPFI and Weill Cornell Medicine has revealed how two cellular switches, Rab4 and ...

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 ...

Neurons have variable levels of chromatin compaction, shown as different shades of red. The less compact a neuron, the more likely it is to be recruited into the memory trace (green). When we form a ...

Scientists have identified a previously unseen layered organization inside one of the brain’s most important memory hubs.
