Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

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 ...

Manipulating important non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes using light prevented fear memories from being retained long-term, according to new research. The findings add to growing evidence ...

The human working memory (WM) is the cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information vital to task completion. In contrast, human long-term memory (LTM) is the ...

An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is was previously unknown. Now, a team of ...

An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...
