The human brain continuously makes predictions about future events. This process helps humans process familiar stimuli while ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the Stowers Institute has identified the mechanism that makes a fleeting moment ...

Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified ...

A schematic showing the lantern-inspired flexible electrode used in the lateral ventricular brain–computer interface. Inserted in a compact form through a minimally invasive pathway, the electrode ...

A simple brain-training program that sharpens how quickly older adults process visual information may have a surprisingly powerful long-term payoff. In a major 20-year study of adults 65 and older, ...

As a researcher investigating how electric brain stimulation can improve people’s powers of recollection, I’m often asked how memory works – and what we can do to use it more effectively. Happily, ...

A recent study published in the journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience suggests that a copper-delivering drug can repair a vital ...
