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 ...

Every day, our brain takes countless fleeting experiences — from walks on the beach to presentations at work — and transforms them into long-term memories. How exactly this works remains a mystery, ...

Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified ...

New research led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Brain Science points to astrocytes as the brain cells responsible for long-term learning and memory. In a new Nature paper, they demonstrate ...

Memories are created in a matter of seconds. Memories are created in a matter of seconds. From the moment the brain receives a sensory input (i.e. sight, sound, smell, etc.), neurons across the brain ...
