Sleep loss selectively disrupts memory-related brain circuits and behavior, while caffeine restores synaptic plasticity and ...

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have demonstrated that ...

Many people rely on caffeine to feel more alert after a bad night’s sleep. Now, new research suggests that caffeine may do ...

Can caffeine save your social life? New research shows how caffeine restores social memory impaired by sleep deprivation by targeting the hippocampal CA2 region. Learn about the molecular mechanisms ...

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 ...

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 ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns fuzzy. In Alzheimer’s disease, that slide can look even steeper. Yet the brain ...

How does dopamine control both movement and learning? New research reveals that acetylcholine acts as a "switch" for dopamine function.

The choice of rodent strain for neuroscientific research is often considered a secondary factor when selecting rat or mouse models for functional studies of ...
