Amyloid proteins are typically considered bad guys, but researchers been investigating whether a version may be key to ...

Researchers say human versions of identified fruit fly chaperone proteins have been implicated in schizophrenia.

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers. Published online in Science on Oct. 30, the study shows that ...

The pursuit of maintaining sharp memory and cognitive vitality throughout life has led to remarkable discoveries about the powerful connection between diet and brain health. Recent evidence points to ...

Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health researchers. The entorhinal/hippocampal circuit is known from past studies to ...

New research suggests Alzheimer’s memory loss may be linked to disruptions in the brain’s replay mode. Here's how sleep, hippocampus function, and memory consolidation play a role in cognitive decline ...

Researchers have been fascinated for a long time by learning and memory formation, and many questions are still open. Bochum-based neuroscientists Prof Dr Denise Manahan-Vaughan and Dr Hardy Hagena ...

Emerging research shows a strong link between diabetes, insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease. Experts say glucose fluctuations may harm brain health.

That increasing forgetfulness you’ve been experiencing in your thirties isn’t an inevitable part of getting older, it’s your brain sending urgent distress signals about lifestyle factors that are ...

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 ...

Schematic model showing how memory is consolidated in the prefrontal cortex and how circuitry through the amygdala shifts as hippocampal engram cells become silent and cortical engrams become active.
