Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...

You can use up all the storage on your phone or max out your computer's drive, but can you use up all the memory space in your brain? Despite how you might feel before an exam or after a sleepless ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia.

Like a computer system with built-in redundancies, a study has revealed that brains use three different sets of neurons to store a single memory. The finding could one day help soften painful memories ...

According to the data, when microglia activity in the brain was suppressed, baby mice were better able to recall fearful experiences.

Certain cognitive skills help improve memory naturally. Strengthening focus, logic, language, and emotional control can ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research. When you ...

The title sounds outrageous. But supporting data comes from research at the most prestigious Salk Institute. Other researchers had made enormous storage capacity estimates for brains, but this new ...
