A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory ...

A study suggests modulating the gut microbiome via the vagus nerve may reverse age-related memory loss in mice.

THC doesn’t just blur memories—it can create new ones that never happened. In a controlled experiment, cannabis users were much more likely to recall words that were never shown and struggled with ...

Old mice got smarter when researchers tweaked their gut bacteria and stimulated the vagus nerve - restoring cognitive performance to young-animal levels, according to Stanford Medicine. The study, ...

A new study led by researchers at UC San Diego shows a certain protein detected in the blood can provide decades of early ...

Remotely changing the composition of the gut microbiome by stimulating the vagus nerve, which sends signals from the gut to the brain, may help reverse ageing-related memory loss, according to a new ...

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

A single exercise session increased electrical activity in a brain region tied to learning and memory, a first-of-its-kind ...

Lingering inflammation from viruses like COVID-19 or HIV can take a lasting toll on the brain. New research shows exactly how specific immune system imbalances lead to memory lapses and slowed ...

Smoking cannabis can do more than blur memories. It can reshape them. A new Washington State University study found that people who consumed THC were more likely to recall words that were never ...

A new study in mice suggests psychedelics make the brain more likely to “see” images from memory rather than what’s actually in front of it. Long before modern laboratory testing, indigenous cultures ...

The partnership between ravens and wolves goes back to Norse mythology -- Odin's birds scouted ahead and led prey to the ...
