Epileptic seizures alter sleep by prolonging the stage that's central to memory formation, potentially predisposing the brain to "remember" how to trigger subsequent seizures more easily, a small ...

MIT study confirms that using AI tools for writing or any creative work is impacting you brain activity significantly, ...

While driving recently, a long-forgotten song came on the radio. I found myself singing along; not only did I know all the ...

Aggregating ‘negative’ immunotherapy trials can uncover reproducible immune perturbations that are missed in single studies, reframing lack of clinical benefit as potentially informative biologic ...

A recent brain imaging study reveals that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder consists of at least two distinct physical subtypes. This discovery suggests that patients may eventually benefit ...

Superagers’ memory capacity rivals that of younger adults. A new study suggests their brains’ robust production of new neurons may be why.

Sleep problems are one of the earliest and most troubling symptoms reported by people who later develop Alzheimer’s disease. Many individuals begin to experience restless nights, frequent waking, or ...

Imperative motivation helps us address urgent goals, such as escaping a threat or winning a competition. However, imperative motivation can constrain attention and memory. Conversely, interrogative ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

Cornell’s latest research connects pupil dynamics in mice during sleep to memory consolidation, a finding that could pave the way for advanced memory enhancement and more effective AI systems. A study ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. However, the reason for this has remained unclear. Now, ...
