Researchers have identified hyperactivity in the reticular thalamic nucleus as a driver of autism-like behaviors in mice.

Summary: A new study reveals that different types of music shape the emotional tone of the memories they evoke. Acoustic, lower-energy songs often triggered personal memories filled with calmness, ...

A massive genetic study has identified more than 400 genes that drive different forms of unhealthy aging, from cognitive decline to metabolic problems.

Summary: Aging disrupts memory by increasing levels of the protein FTL1 in the hippocampus, new research shows. In mice, excess FTL1 caused neurons to grow abnormally and led to memory decline, while ...
