Researchers are testing a new approach to repair early memory loss by protecting brain connections affected in Alzheimer’s ...

Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to events and the activity they cause in the brain. Neuroscientists believe that ...
