Erasing a memory like throwing away an old receipt? Forgetting a difficult breakup like deleting an old voicemail? It's an idea that makes you dream, or even shudder. This "science fiction fantasy" is ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers created “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. The treated animals showed better memory and healthier ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia.

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

A recent paper published in Engineering titled “Machine Memory Intelligence: Inspired by Human Memory Mechanisms” explores a novel approach to AIby drawing inspiration from the human brain’s memory ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...
