An international team led by Jaime de Juan-Sanz at the Paris Brain Institute has shown that slightly increasing the metabolic ...

Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

Plus, recipes to make with these memory-boosting superstars.

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory function, ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...
