Researchers found that expert birders show structural differences in areas linked to attention and perception.

Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly large reserve of “silent synapses” in the adult brain—unused neural connections that can be rapidly activated to store new memories.

Nelson Dellis credits techniques like the method of loci for his extraordinary memory. Now, brain scans have revealed the ...

New research has found that the loss of social memory – recognizing friends and family – in Alzheimer's disease (AD) could come down to specific structures around brain cells. And targeting this ...

New research reveals how physical activity may directly preserve brain structure and support memory function as you age.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful new clue in the mystery of brain aging: a single protein called FTL1. In aging mice, higher levels of this protein weakened connections between brain cells and led ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Your brain may possess greater abilities than you realise. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted a study which discovered that adult brains contain millions of silent synapses ...

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...

A new discovery by McGill researchers sheds light on how we retain memories over time, even though brain activity is ...

A new deep-brain BCI from Tsinghua University uses the lateral ventricles to record neural signals. This "lantern" electrode ...
