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 ...

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a precise ...

The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and the nervous system.

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

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 ...

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...

Our modern world moves fast. As a paediatrician, I am seeing more and more children who aren’t just overwhelmed by academics ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

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

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and ...
