Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Neuron networks in the brains hippocampus, the memory centre, are dense with connections that appear random, but as animals ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a group of researchers assessed whether dendritic spine head diameter in the temporal cortex is a better predictor of episodic memory performance in ...

White matter pathways allow distant parts of the brain to communicate, supporting memory, emotion, and language. One such ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. The extreme mental and physical fatigue brought on by long COVID may be a result of structural changes in the brain, new ...

Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report new evidence that clusters of brain tissue derived from the cells of patients ...

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...
