Despite near-consensus that memory has a physical basis, neuroscientists are split on whether we might someday be able to ...

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

Eggs fuel memory formation processes. Egg yolks deliver choline – a precursor to acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter most directly involved in forming long-term memories.

Long-term memories rely on both the repetition of events and an intricate neurological learning process in making these memories last, shows a new study by a team of neuroscientists. Its findings ...

Slow waves are key to this process. ... This slow-wave sleep likely supports memory formation by making the long-term memory storing neocortex especially receptive for short bursts of time.

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than "just sprinkle it on top." Researchers at Tohoku University and ...
