Our brain's remarkable ability to form and store memories has long fascinated scientists, yet most of the microscopic mechanisms behind memory and learning processes remain a mystery.

Brain aging may lead to a decline in immune system response and hinder the removal of aged cells. The accumulation of these ...

The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli -- such as a glaring roadside billboard or a flashing banner on the internet. Scientists have used ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

Researchers investigated the quantities of thousands of muscle proteins and found a possible new explanation for muscle memory. A study showed for the first time that muscles 'remember' training at ...

Scientists discovered a new Hall effect driven by spin currents in noncollinear antiferromagnets, offering a path to more ...

A new study shows that electron spins—tiny magnetic properties of atoms that can store information—can be protected from ...

Scientists have discovered a surprising magnetic spin phase where order and disorder mix, challenging old ideas.

Spintronics, an emerging field of technology, exploits the spin of electrons rather than their charge to process and store ...

In new research, scientists have figured out how to boost waste removal cycles in the brains of mice – with dramatic effects on their memory. Led by a team from Washington University in St. Louis, the ...
