earning spatial elements of a new environment is important for people and animals. However, how this process occurs in the brain remains poorly understood. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are abundantly ...

After 30 days, the mice underwent a behavioral test to measure spatial learning and memory. Spatial memory problems such as getting lost or forgetting where objects have been placed are a common ...

We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...

Rett syndrome is a neurological disorder affecting learning and development, caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene triggering decreased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Previous ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been described as a one‑way street, a slow erosion of memory that could at best be delayed, not undone. A wave of animal studies is now challenging that assumption ...

Researchers have established the protein p53 as critical for regulating sociability, repetitive behavior, and hippocampus-related learning and memory in mice, illuminating the relationship between the ...

In the realm of memories, "where" holds special importance. Where did I leave my keys? Where did I eat dinner last night? Where did I first meet that friend? Recalling locations is necessary for daily ...

One study suggests that mice with low vitamin K levels had worse learning and memory function than mice without low vitamin K levels. The results also indicate that the observed cognitive declines ...

Two months on from it being declared safe by the FDA, aspartame is again making headlines for the wrong reasons, this time for its potential negative impact on learning and memory. Researchers at ...
