Scientists Discover The Brain Starts Life 'Too Full' And Then Trims Itself Down
A new study from Austrian researchers suggests the brain begins life with an overly dense and disorganised network of connections, which is then gradually pruned and refined as the animal matures, challenging the long-held idea that the brain is a blank slate at birth.

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.

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.

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...

Every New Memory You Make Causes Damage To Your Brain Cells, Finds Study
The study is based on analysis of brain data generated by giving mice a mild electric shock.

Popular Bird Species Grows Brain Tissues To Survive Brutal Winter
The extra brain power gives black-capped chickadee supercharged memory that allows this tiny species of bird to survive in harsh winters.

'Most Detailed' Map of Hippocampus Created, Scientists Claim
Created using fluorescent tracers and 3D animation, the map shows structures, nerve connections and functions of the hippocampus in vivid detail.

Brain Size May Determine Response To Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment
Patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have a larger brain region are more likely to respond to exposure-based therapy -- a type of cognitive behavioural therapy -- for the mental health condition, finds a new research.

Protein That May Boost Learning, Memory Identified
Researchers, including those of Indian-origin, have found that increasing a crucial cholesterol-binding membrane protein in nerve cells within the brain can improve learning and memory in aged mice.

Sound sleep benefits memory
Mild sleep disturbance that induces shallow sleep, but does not reduce total sleep time, interferes with learning and memory.
