A brief bout of physical exercise can create "ripples" of activity in your brain that help you store and retrieve memories.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful new clue in the mystery of brain aging: a single protein called FTL1. In aging mice, higher levels of this protein weakened connections between brain cells and led ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons ...

A new study suggests a single exercise session can increase electrical “ripples” in parts of the brain that support memory and learning ability. The research recorded electrical activity directly from ...

With age comes a natural decline in cognitive function, even among otherwise healthy adults without dementia. A new study finds that a cognitive training program may boost production of a brain ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

A recent brain imaging experiment reveals that watching fragmented short videos leads to measurably worse memory recall ...

Maintaining mental sharpness in today’s fast-paced world is more crucial than ever. With the increasing demands on our cognitive abilities, people seek practical solutions to enhance their memory and ...

A new study suggests targeting a certain protein could one day stop neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Even more reason to schedule that early-morning workout ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...
