A single exercise session increased electrical activity in a brain region tied to learning and memory, a first-of-its-kind study showed.

Op-Ed: What I tell my patients—and what I try to practice myself—is this: you don’t need perfection. You just need to move.

Researchers have used brain imaging to show how memories can be reactivated in the brain without them reaching conscious awareness, showing that these memories persist even when we think they have ...

When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of neurons communicate together often, the connections ...

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 memories. The researchers have ...

Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

Age is more than just one number. While neuroscientists used to think of cognitive aging as a single trendline, they now ...
