For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

Dopamine plays a more complex and precise role in brain function than previously thought: it not only enhances neural ...

Certain cognitive skills help improve memory naturally. Strengthening focus, logic, language, and emotional control can ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...

For decades, scientists have focused on the brain as the primary location for memory storage and processing. However, recent groundbreaking research from is challenging this long-standing assumption, ...

A context-driven memory model simulates a wide range of characteristics of waking and sleeping hippocampal replay, providing a new account of how and why replay occurs.

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

Professor Paul Colombo has studied music-based mentoring, memory, and the benefits of music training over the course of his ...

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 ...
