People who are cognitively healthy in their 30s and 40s can lose brain volume without any measurable hit to their memory. But ...

The neurophysiological mechanisms supporting brain maturation are fundamental to attention and memory capacity across the lifespan. Human brain regions develop at different rates, with many regions ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

A new study reveals that the memory for a specific experience is stored in multiple parallel 'copies'. These are preserved for varying durations, modified to certain degrees, and sometimes deleted ...

Largest U.S. study links teen cannabis use to slower cognitive development and reduced gains in memory and attention.

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

Findings of the study suggest that the natural compounds found in blueberries may support brain development and emotional ...

A large study of brain scans shows that our neural wiring evolves through five major stages from birth to late old age. These phases are separated by sudden turning points that mark big shifts in how ...

A new study now published in Science reveals that the memory for a specific experience is stored in multiple parallel "copies." These are preserved for varying durations, modified to certain degrees, ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...
