Researchers identified in mice a microbiome–gut–brain pathway in which age-associated changes in gut microbes increase medium-chain fatty acids that impair vagal sensory signaling and hippocampal ...

We become forgetful as we age. This is often seen as a universal truth, but in fact it is far from universal: some people ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory deficits caused by acute stress in mice, pinpointing a specific protein ...

A new study shows that 20 minutes of cardio can trigger memory-linked brain waves in the hippocampus, offering the first direct evidence of this effect in humans.
