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 ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

Researchers found that caffeine may help reduce the effects of sleep deprivation.

On average, human memory declines with age. However, there is substantial variation among individuals: some experience a rapid decline, whereas others barely notice a change. With our rapidly aging ...

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. This work ...

Modern lifestyles and dietary changes have significantly increased the consumption of high-fat foods, contributing to a steep rise in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

The study shows, for the first time in a realistic setting, the role of ripple-type brain waves in memory encoding and storage. A research team from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of ...

Memory acts as the invisible thread linking our past experiences to present awareness, shaping who we are and how we learn. Far from being fixed, though, memory is a dynamic system. It's constantly ...

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