A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about propranolol, a drug that can erase the emotion of fearful memories. When volunteers take the drug before recalling a scary memory about a spider, it dulled the ...

Researchers from Sweden have discovered that the human brain continues to grow new cells in the memory region—called the hippocampus—even into old age. Using advanced tools to examine brain samples ...

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 ...

Every time you tap, click, or scroll, your device stores and processes data with memory. Memory technology today, however, is ...

Researchers have reversed memory loss in aging mice by targeting a protein that builds up in brain cells, pointing toward a potential pathway to counter the cognitive declines of aging. In a new study ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

Programmable 2D nanochannels mimic both synaptic behaviour and multiple memory types, marking a major advance in neuromorphic computing. Researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene ...

See the world through the lens of science. Sign up for our free, daily newsletter Today in Science. A plume of red, a searing pain and the sounds of summer—these are fragments of my earliest memory, ...

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain, integrates memory and processing to drastically reduce power consumption compared to traditional CPUs and GPUs, making AI at the network edge more ...
