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 ...

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

Neurons communicate with one another by synaptic connections, where information is exchanged from one neuron to its neighbor. These connections are not static, but are continuously modulated in ...

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

In a recent study published in Neuronal Psychiatry, researchers explored the molecular and cellular processes regulated by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in the extracellular matrix ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how gestational dexamethasone exposure impacts hippocampal excitatory synaptic transmission and learning and memory function ...

A researcher has developed a new model that provides a holistic view on how our brain manages to learn quickly and forms stable, long-lasting memories. Their study sheds light on the crucial role of ...

Neuron showing SynGAP (green) binding to PSD-95 at synapses. Johns Hopkins Medicine neuroscientists say they have found a new function for the SYNGAP1 gene, a DNA sequence that controls memory and ...

A longevity-linked metabolite restored key memory processes in Alzheimer’s models, highlighting aging biology as a promising therapeutic target. Singapore ranks among the countries with the longest ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of ...

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...
