A new study shows that 20 minutes of cardio can trigger memory-linked brain waves in the hippocampus, offering the first direct evidence of this effect in humans.

Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory ...

In a world saturated with stories—from ancient myths to TikTok clips—narratives knit together emotion, memory, and meaning. A new study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that how a story is told ...

You’ve just walked into a room and completely forgotten why. You’re mid-sentence when the word you need simply vanishes. Your friend mentions a movie you both saw last month, and you have zero ...

Inflammation in former football players was tied to limbic white matter damage and worse memory, revealing a potential pathway linking repetitive head impacts to later cognitive decline.
