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 ...

The results suggest that grammar may have evolved from this basic memory structure. It could also explain how rules like the English past-tense are learned. Endress explains: ...

Though scientist Richard Semon introduced the concept of the "engram" 115 years ago to posit a neural basis for memory, direct evidence for engrams has only begun to accumulate recently as ...
