Scientists discover how the brain allocates resources to remember important items more precisely in working memory tasks.

Neuroscientists have reactivated a spatial memory and tested the successful reactivation of the memory circuit in laboratory mice.

The brain stores memories while flexibly reorganizing, updating, and reshaping them with new and relevant information.

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.

Scientists have found that not just brain cells but also cells from other parts of the body can form and keep memories.

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.

Researchers propose a unified theory where the brain's memory systems also handle present awareness and future predictions, blurring lines between these mental processes.

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.

Research shows mice exploring environments without tasks still learn, helping their brains prepare for future challenges by encoding visual features.
