Researchers have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes regulate one another across different types of brain cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

"Practice makes perfect" is no mere cliché, according to a new study from researchers at The Rockefeller University and UCLA. Instead, it's the recipe for mastering a task, because repeating an ...

Epilepsy is a disease marked by recurrent seizures, or sudden periods of abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. One in 26 people in the U.S. will develop epilepsy at some ...

A study in rats, backed up by results in patients, has revealed how interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) may lead to memory impairments in patients with epilepsy. "Long-term memory requires a ...
