A gene previously linked to intellectual disability has been found to regulate learning and memory in mice. A gene previously linked to intellectual disability has been found to regulate learning and ...

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new—and important or just "background noise." Led by researchers ...

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Study reveals sugar triggers memory storage in the brain, offering clues to stress-related eating and learning processes.

A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers—a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder ...

Researchers report that complex sugar molecules in the brain might affect plasticity, which is involved in learning and memory. During their study, the researchers changed one of the genes in mice and ...

Watching fragmented short videos rather than a single continuous video leads to poorer memory recall and alters how the brain retrieves information. A recent experiment revealed that fast-paced ...
