Two types of neurons in the hippocampus either store memories for sugar or drive fat cravings, shaping food intake and ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.

Stress touches nearly every part of life. It shapes how we feel, think, and even how our bodies react. Though our stress ...

A study of young adults in Spain found that those who engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity tend to have larger ...

Then they measured gene expression in the hippocampus—a key brain region for learning and memory that deteriorates during aging—in 20-month-old female mice, which were akin to 65-year-old humans.

NIH-funded study uses cutting-edge imaging techniques to reconstruct features underlying learning and memory in the mouse ...
