Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

Neurons communicate with one another by synaptic connections, where information is exchanged from one neuron to its neighbor. These connections are not static, but are continuously modulated in ...

A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.

Immediate-early genes (IEGs), including c-Fos, are integral to the brain's response to stimuli. Initially identified as a proto-oncogene, c-Fos is essential for neural activity, synaptic plasticity, ...

In a rat model of chronic heart failure, Xijiaqi Formula improved cardiac indices and rescued learning/memory deficits while ...

A study mapped genes linked to schizophrenia and uncovered a mechanism that disrupts synaptic plasticity in affected individuals. The researchers showed the role of three proteins in mediating the ...

“The findings of the present study reveal that aging is linked to a decline in serine racemase protein levels across various brain regions [...]” Aging is associated with a decrease in ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...
