Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers. Published online in Science on Oct. 30, the study shows that ...

These discoveries reveal the critical role of Rab cellular switches in strengthening connections during memory formation. Because gene variants in Rab10 have also been implicated in providing ...

Researchers have revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work sheds light on the fundamentally flexible nature of how ...

New insight into the process that converts experiences into stable long-term memories has been uncovered by neurobiologists from the University of California, Irvine and the University of Queensland.

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...

"This new finding has revised our understanding. We are now investigating how this newly discovered pathway to long-term memory formation occurs. We are excited to see what we can learn and what this ...

One of the most puzzling aspects of common chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis is how they become chronic.

Brain immune cells may be responsible for the formation of Alzheimer's plaques, revealing a key turning point in this neurological disease.

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...
