An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic capacity of neurons can enhance long-term memory in both fruit flies and ...

Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

One of the most powerful assets of the brain is that it can store information as memories, allowing us to learn from our mistakes. However, some memories remain vivid while others become forgotten.

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

The largest fMRI study to date finds that heavy cannabis use in young adults reduces brain activity and impairs working memory performance.
