Memory formation and maintenance fundamentally rely on intricate molecular processes that regulate synaptic strength. Central to this phenomenon is synaptic plasticity – the capacity of neural ...

Boston, MA December 26, 2025 — A newly released clinical review is reshaping how researchers and clinicians understand memory loss, identifying six primary neurobiological and cognitive mechanisms ...

The human working memory (WM) is the cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information vital to task completion. In contrast, human long-term memory (LTM) is the ...

Cooperating neurons form the physical structure of a memory, but how these assemblies form and persist as long-term memories still stumps scientists. After an event, brain activity increases in the ...

(a) Diagram illustrating the ion channel activity in post-synaptic neurons. AMPA receptors are involved in the activation of post-synaptic neurons, while NMDA receptors are blocked by magnesium ions ...

Our memories are rich in detail: we can vividly recall the color of our home, the layout of our kitchen, or the front of our favorite café. How the brain encodes this information has long puzzled ...

A Nature paper describes an innovative analog in-memory computing (IMC) architecture tailored for the attention mechanism in large language models (LLMs). They want to drastically reduce latency and ...
