Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory function, ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

Boosting mitochondrial calcium by inhibiting the LETM1 protein enhances long-term memory formation in flies and mice.

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

Researchers have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with bacteria, viruses and other antigens within them, a finding ...

Researchers found that gut microbes may contribute to memory loss by disrupting signals between the intestine and the brain.
