In the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, science has found a way to erase bad memories. The movie ultimately makes the point that our memories form our identities, and as painful as it is ...

Spanish and Chinese scientists say they have used nanoparticles to enable the brains of mice to clear out plaque linked to ...

French and Canadian scientists reactivate mitochondria energy in neurons and successfully restore memory in mice with ...

Alzheimer’s disease affects more than seven million Americans, slowly erasing memory and thinking skills. For decades, doctors have relied on painful spinal taps, expensive brain scans, and imperfect ...

Stanford scientists found that aging disrupts the brain’s internal navigation system in mice, mirroring spatial memory ...

The potential of brain-computer interfaces ‘could be magical,’ but their collection of large amounts of neural data also ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

A new model suggests that astrocytes might be used in computation, coordinating with neurons and connecting synapses in networks. A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — ...

I was scrolling on my phone, half-listening to a podcast I’d already played twice, when my brain decided to rerun a moment ...

The human brain shrinks as it ages, affecting the ability to remember — it’s part of life. Yet there are a lucky few, called “SuperAgers,” who possess a brain that fights back. For these people, ...

Imagine that you knew how much memory you had left in your brain. Maybe there’s a progress bar in the corner of your eye. Or maybe you can visualize the percentage at will. In any case, anytime you ...
