But new research published in Neuropsychopharmacology suggests the relationship between sleep, caffeine and brain function ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...

Studies show THC can influence multiple stages of memory formation, shaping not just what we remember—but how accurately we ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

The freshwater pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis has emerged as an invaluable invertebrate model for the study of memory formation and central nervous system (CNS) function. Its relatively simple yet ...

The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports ...

Scientists have identified a new factor that may explain why memory declines in Alzheimer’s disease, pointing to a disruption ...

Why do memories fade in Alzheimer's disease—and can they be restored? University of California, Irvine researchers have ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...
