A new study shows that prolonging cellular energy in brain cells helps transform fleeting experiences into lasting memories.

SuperAgers over 80 generate twice as many new brain cells as typical older adults, explaining their exceptional memory that ...

To consolidate memories, our brains replay them during periods of rest as a kind of 'replay mode'. A new mouse study suggests that disruptions to this process could contribute to the memory loss that ...

Lead researcher Orly Lazarov, a neuroscience professor at UIC College of Medicine, and her team started by studying the ...

After treatment, the mice’s memories were essentially shunted back into a younger state. The researchers found that reprogrammed engrams displayed molecular behavior of more youthful cells. Using a ...

“SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

The Johns Hopkins-created maps provide higher resolution and better coverage of gray matter than previously published maps, ...

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 ...

Plus, recipes to make with these memory-boosting superstars.

Our memory can fail sometimes. Who hasn’t forgotten their keys? and what about entering a room and not knowing why you were going there? These are some ...
