Explore new insights into neurodegenerative therapies as researchers observe learning mechanisms in the living brain.

A newly released clinical review is reshaping how researchers and clinicians understand memory loss, identifying six primary ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

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 ...

New research shows that mild COVID-19 alters brain structure and connectivity in key areas responsible for memory and cognition, emphasizing the lasting effects on young people’s brain health. Study: ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects ...

New research shows jazz improvisation relies on shifting brain networks as musicians move from memory to creative freedom.

A novel placebo-controlled study has found daily caffeine consumption can significantly reduce the volume of gray matter in the human brain. These findings do not immediately suggest caffeine ...

An international research team investigated the brains of 16 jazz pianists while they played a piece from memory, improvised ...

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 ...
