Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

While ageing often brings mild memory lapses, new research suggests the human brain may continue to renew itself even in later years. A study published in the journal Nature has found strong evidence ...

Certain nerve cells in the brain become active whenever they are confronted with different images or the name of a specific person or the identity of an object. They are highly selective and do not ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." There are so many reasons—normal, non-scary reasons—why we forget things, whether it’s the name of that ...

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 ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in ...
