A newly released clinical review is reshaping how researchers and clinicians understand memory loss, identifying six primary ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

Cooperating neurons form the physical structure of a memory, but how these assemblies form and persist as long-term memories still stumps scientists. After an event, brain activity increases in the ...

(a) Diagram illustrating the ion channel activity in post-synaptic neurons. AMPA receptors are involved in the activation of post-synaptic neurons, while NMDA receptors are blocked by magnesium ions ...

Your brain is responsible for controlling most of your body’s activities. Its information processing capabilities allow you to learn, and it is the central repository of your memories. But how is ...

Our memories are rich in detail: we can vividly recall the color of our home, the layout of our kitchen, or the front of our favorite café. How the brain encodes this information has long puzzled ...

Scientists have made a 'paradigm shifting' discovery on the mechanisms required for learning and memory that could lead to new therapies for Alzheimer's disease and potentially Down syndrome.

Modern artificial intelligence systems operate with a fundamental paradox: they demonstrate remarkable reasoning capabilities while simultaneously suffering from systematic amnesia. Large language ...

A Nature paper describes an innovative analog in-memory computing (IMC) architecture tailored for the attention mechanism in large language models (LLMs). They want to drastically reduce latency and ...

What's the biochemical basis for our learning and storing the names, events, sights, and sounds that stay with us for a lifetime? Can we, in fact, reduce and explain these bits of nostalgia in terms ...
