The brain’s internal GPS changes each time mice navigate a familiar, static environment, according to a new study by neurobiologists from Northwestern...
Challenging assumptions about infant memory, a new Yale University-led study shows that infants as young as 12 months old can encode memories. The findings...
Eating 50 grams of walnuts mixed into muesli and yoghurt led to faster reaction times throughout the day and better memory performance later in the day...
With the exception of ChatGPT 4o, almost all publicly available large language models subjected to a test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)...
Unlike other data storage formats that degrade over time, 5D memory crystals can store up to 360 terabytes of information without loss for billions of...
Episodic memory and mental time travel have been viewed as uniquely human traits. This view began to shift with the development of behavioral criteria...
Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), small North American passerine birds that live in deciduous and mixed forests, have extraordinary memories...
The classic understanding of brain organization is that perceptual regions of the brain represent the world ‘as it is,’ with the brain’s visual cortex...
While human social memory lasts decades and tracks relationships, less is known about non-human ape long-term memory. In a new paper published in the Proceedings...
In humans, repeated encounters with a wide variety of stimuli can reactivate specific neurons to produce long-term memories. In new research, biologists...
Late-life dementia is a growing public health concern lacking effective treatment. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease develop over...
In recent years, exploring natural compounds with functional properties to ameliorate aging-associated cognitive decline has become a research priority...
In new research, marine biologists trained the Caribbean box jellyfish (Tripedalia cystophora) to learn to spot and dodge obstacles; their findings challenge...
Obese individuals possess impaired connections between the dorsolateral hippocampus and the lateral hypothalamus, which may impact their ability to control...
Sulfate groups on complex sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans affect ‘plasticity’ in the brains of mice, according to a team of researchers led...
Plain caffeine only partially reproduces the effects of drinking a cup of coffee, activating areas of the brain that make you feel more alert but not the...
Multivitamin supplementation holds promise as a safe and accessible approach to maintaining cognitive health in older age, according to new research led...
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a new smart material with a dual-response feature, that is, shape-memory and color-changing. The...
The brain’s powerful information processing capacity can be largely attributed to neuronal microcircuits established by synaptic connectivity patterns....
New research led by China’s Southern Medical University suggests that bumblebees are only able to make use of ordinal ranking memories to guide foraging...
