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.

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—it's like the fuel that keeps our brain running.

Brain cells, or oligodendrocytes (green), in the hippocampus are marked with the GFP genetic marker in the mouse brain. These cells often deteriorate ...

New research from the University of Chicago challenges long-held beliefs about how synaptic plasticity contributes to memory ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

NIH-funded study uses cutting-edge imaging techniques to reconstruct features underlying learning and memory in the mouse ...

Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...
