Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...
An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...
An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ's Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...
McGill University provides funding as a member of The Conversation CA. McGill University provides funding as a member of The Conversation CA-FR. The puzzle of memory has intrigued philosophers and ...
You might recognize the word hippocampus even if you’re not a neurologist. The hippocampus has gained a reputation for storing the brain’s memories — but that’s not all it does. Learn more about this ...
Scientists show how a common RNA modifiation plays an important role in the process of learning and memory formation. RNA carries pieces of instructions encoded in DNA to coordinate the production of ...
