Could your brain be communicating without synapses? New research uncovers how ephaptic coupling could be driving brain activity during sleep and beyond.

Scientists have identified a series of molecular timers across different brain regions that determine whether a memory is forgotten quickly or preserved for a lifetime.

Researchers discovered that keeping calcium inside the energy centers of brain cells for longer periods helps animals form lasting memories with much less effort and training than usual.

Research shows that the brain deliberately forms protein clumps called amyloids to create stable memories, challenging old views and opening paths to treat brain diseases.

New research shows that certain cells in a key memory area of the brain act as hubs to manage incoming and outgoing signals without confusion.

Researchers uncover how calcium ion channels in the brain store memories by changing shapes during nerve activity.

A scientist has suggested that rhythmic electrical signals in the brain perform continuous calculations to enable thinking and consciousness.
