The findings may also have implications for learning and memory disorders, including Fragile X syndrome. Less than twenty minutes after finishing this article, your brain will begin to store the ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveal that astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain, play a direct role in the regulation of neuronal circuits involved in learning and memory. The ...

The perirhinal cortex is present within the medial temporal lobe (Figure 1) and it is considered to play a vital role in recognition memory, and also in perception and object association. Studies have ...

It is something we all experience. We learn something, but then forget it as soon as we turn away. In the late 19th century, ...

The non-sugar, low-calorie sweetener aspartame has been linked to potential problems with memory and learning, according to a study from the Florida State University (FSU) College of Medicine. In the ...

It’s the kind of study science fiction dreams are made of: A team of neurobiologists at UCLA “transplanted” a memory from the nervous system of one snail into another. In order to do this, the team ...
