With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Virginia Tech scientists Shannon Farris (left) and Sharon Swanger of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have received support from the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Alzheimer’s and Related ...

Social memory-the ability to recognize familiar individuals and distinguish them from strangers-is fundamental to social cognition. Deficits in social memory are hallmarks of multiple neuropsychiatric ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain’s hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing ...

Both presenilin-1 or the less-studied presenilin-2 can act as the catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, the enzyme responsible for churning out Aβ peptides. A new study, published November 29 in Nature ...

Scientists from the UNC School of Medicine recently discovered that junk food disrupts memory circuits in the brain almost instantaneously. Within just four days, neurons in the hippocampus became ...

Schematic model showing how memory is consolidated in the prefrontal cortex and how circuitry through the amygdala shifts as hippocampal engram cells become silent and cortical engrams become active.

A new study suggest that brief exercise, such as 20 minutes of moderate cycling, can boost brain activity, which may help to improve memory.
