Study sheds light on how the brain stores remote fear memory
Updated : 2 months, 4 weeks ago IST
A remote fear memory is a memory of traumatic events that occurred in the distant past, a few months to decades ago. A University of California, Riverside, mouse study published in Nature Neuroscience has now spelt out the fundamental mechanisms by which the brain consolidates remote fear me

Study finds brain changes in autism are far more sweeping than previously
Updated : 4 months, 2 weeks ago IST
The study, published today in Nature, represents a comprehensive effort to characterize ASD at the molecular level. While neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease have well-defined pathologies, autism and other psychiatric disorders have had a lack of defining p

Researchers reveal where memories of familiar places are stored in brain
Updated : 1 year, 10 months ago IST
Washington [US], May 16 (ANI): A new study from Dartmouth College reveals that three regions of the brain in the posterior cerebral cortex, which the researchers call 'place-memory areas', form a link between the brain's perceptual and memory systems, which helps the brain to store in memori

Damage to white matter linked to worse cognitive outcomes after brain inju
Updated : 1 year, 10 months ago IST
Washington [US], May 8 (ANI): A new University of Iowa study challenges the idea that grey matter (the neurons that form the cerebral cortex) is more important than white matter (the myelin covered axons that physically connect neuronal regions) when it comes to cognitive health and function

Scientists find association between memory mechanisms, resistance to epile
Updated : 5 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington D.C [US], Nov.26 (ANI): In a recent study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex, the scientists expose a new biological mechanism that on one hand damages a very specific type of memory but at the same time provides resistance to epilepsy.
