Prolonged Pain Reshapes The Brain's Memory Centre, Influencing Depression Risk: Study
Changes to one's hippocampus, the brain's memory centre, in response to prolonged pain could be an important factor for why some people develop depression in chronic pain, while others do not, according to a study.

Just 20 Minutes Of Exercise Sparks Brain Ripples That Help Boost Memory: Study
While scientists already knew that exercise is good for the brain, they were uncertain about its effects on the specific electrical signals involved in memory.

Why Some Brains Stay Sharp Even In Their 80s? Study Reveals Secrets of 'Super-Agers'
The brains of super-agers exhibit greater neuroplasticity, allowing them to adapt and compensate for age-related changes.

Brain Shrinkage Across Multiple Regions Accelerates Memory Decline With Age: Study
Scientists uncover how brain shrinkage across multiple regions accelerates memory decline in healthy ageing adults.

COVID-19 May Change Offspring's Brain Development, Study In Mice Finds
Changes in sperm caused by COVID-19 in a mouse could affect the offspring's brain development and cause anxious behaviours, a study has found.

Babies Remember More Than You Think; New Discovery Will Leave You Stunned
A new study uses brain scans to show that babies form memories, but it's still unclear why these memories can't be recalled later in life.

Brain Ageing Could Be Fault Of Mothers, Study Suggests
The maternal X chromosome sped up biological ageing in the hippocampus - a brain area crucial for learning and memory.

Could We Ever Retrieve Memories from a Dead Person's Brain? Neuroscientists Weigh In
Neuroscientists are exploring whether memories can be retrieved from a deceased person’s brain, but current research indicates significant challenges. Memories are thought to be stored in the brain as engrams, which are formed by groups of neurons in the hippocampus and other regions. While some studies have identified these engrams in animals, r...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...
