A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them—an effect called infantile amnesia. A ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

Credit: Nature Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-61649-6 Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have developed a new class of programmable nanofluidic ...

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 ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

Erasing a memory like throwing away an old receipt? Forgetting a difficult breakup like deleting an old voicemail? It's an idea that makes you dream, or even shudder. This "science fiction fantasy" is ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...
