Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to synaptic strengthening.

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns fuzzy. In Alzheimer’s disease, that slide can look even steeper. Yet the brain ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...
