A new small study in rats reveals that the digestive tract communicates with the brain during meals to help remember where food was found. The research, published in Nature Communications, shows that ...

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

Newswise — A new study led by UCLA Health has shown that repetitive practice not only is helpful in improving skills but also leads to profound changes in the brain’s memory pathways. The research, ...
