A tiny region Locus Coeruleus located in your brainstem, acts like a powerful memory reset button. It's pivotal for forming ...

The researchers also found large differences between individuals -- some adult humans had many neural progenitor cells, ...

Life may unfold as a continuous stream, but our memories tell a different story. We do not recall the past as one long, ...

Summary: Researchers have identified ripple-type brain waves as key to how humans segment and store memories. By recording ...

Place cells in the hippocampus form the neural basis for such spatial memory, firing when an animal enters a specific location.

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

A tiny region in the brain works like a reset button that separates memory of one meaningful event from the next. Without this reset mechanism, moments could blur together and lead to the kinds of ...
