Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that helps explain why growing up in a stimulating environment enhances memory. In contrast, a lack of stimulation can impair it. The team from the ...

A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained cognitive stimulation can help preserve brain connectivity and memory in ...

October 19, 2011 — New studies in animal models show not only that stimulating targeted regions of the brain improves spatial memory but also that neurogenesis explains, at least in part, this ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory deficits caused by acute stress in mice, pinpointing a specific protein ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, is planning to reveal new advances in memory stimulation, ones that could potentially aid in the recovery of wounded soldiers’ memories or the ...

With aging comes change; wrinkles, gray hair, and height differences are all a part of the mix. But it’s not just the cosmetic transformations that people fear. According to a study from the Global ...

When you sleep, your brain is busy storing and consolidating things you learned that day, stuff you'll need in your memory toolkit tomorrow, next week, or next year. For many people, especially those ...
