New research has uncovered how the brain dynamically adjusts its neural activity to prioritize more important information in working memory. The study, published in Science Advances, found that when ...

The brains of people writing an essay with ChatGPT are less engaged than those of people blocked from using any online tools ...

Although we know sleep is essential to our physical and mental well-being, it remains an incredibly enigmatic behavior, scientifically speaking.

To test whether this model might accurately represent how the brain stores memory, researchers could try to develop ways to precisely manipulate the connections between astrocytes' processes, then ...

To find out if it might help people with poor memory, Rob Hampson, a neuroscientist at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina, and his colleagues tested two versions of the ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and ...

Instead of applying the two-step algorithmic memory retrieval on the rather static energy landscape of the original Hopfield network model, the researchers describe a dynamic, input-driven mechanism.

People who choose to do brain stimulating activities like word games, reading and writing, for instance, may be less prone to memory loss for other reasons, Dr. O’Brien said.
