USC researchers have uncovered a hidden driver behind the early and severe onset of Alzheimer's in people with Down syndrome: iron overload in the brain. Their...
When faced with a tricky maze task involving hidden information, humans instinctively toggle between two clever mental strategies: simplifying in steps or mentally rewinding. MIT researchers...
A team of scientists has identified specialized neurons in the brain that store "meal memories" detailed recollections of when and what we eat. These engrams, found...
A new method could soon unlock the vast repository of biological information held in the proteins of ancient soft tissues. The findings could open up a...
Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong...
That 'aha' moment when you come back to a puzzle and immediately figure it out? Something fascinating is going on in your brain. A new study...
