While we’re asleep at night, our brain is doing something incredible. The hippocampus and the neocortex, two of its key regions, talk back and forth, processing information for long-term ...

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for 20 minutes over 4 consecutive days can improve both short- and long-term memory for at least 1 month in older adults, new research suggests. The ...

A gentle pulse of electricity appears to improve older people’s ability to remember lists of words—even a month later. Many of us will struggle to remember things as we get older. A gentle form of ...

For four consecutive days, 150 senior citizens pulled on a swim-like cap and allowed parts of their brain to be bathed with low-dose electrical pulses. During 20-minute sessions, they were given five ...

A study on the brain stimulation titled "Long-lasting, dissociable improvements in working memory and long-term memory in older adults with repetitive neuromodulation" has been published in the ...

Researchers developed a novel “closed-loop” system that delivered electrical pulses in a brain region to synchronize brain activity recorded from another region in the brain to improve memory. Among ...

A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained cognitive stimulation can help preserve brain connectivity and memory in ...

The cerebellum (Latin: little brain) is located beneath the cerebrum (Latin: brain). Cerebellar means "relating to the cerebellum." There are two cerebral hemispheres called "left brain-right brain" ...

Pulsing electrical currents through the brain for 20 minutes can boost memory for older adults for at least a month, according to a new study. Around 8 percent of people in the US get diagnosed with ...

(CNN) — Up for a little noninvasive brain stimulation to boost your aging memory for that next big project, work meeting or family get-together? One day science may be able to offer such treatments, ...

A surprising MIT study published in Nature at the end of 2016 helped to spur interest in the possibility that light flickering at the frequency of a particular gamma-band brain rhythm could produce ...
