A new study shows that balanced neural inhibition in the hippocampus is crucial for recognition memory, the ability to remember objects we’ve recently encountered.

Scientists have uncovered a biological “blueprint” that shows how the brain’s smallest building blocks create the large networks that drive thought, emotion, and behavior.

According to the LEADx Leadership Development Benchmark Report 2025, the majority of leadership development teams still ...

Why does memory fade? Why does it stay? These questions, among others, occupy the mind of Charan Ranganath, a UC Davis psychology professor in the UC Davis College of Letters and Science and a core ...

A new study has revealed that neural inhibition and balanced neural activity in a specific area of the brain is required for ...

A hidden four-layer structure in the brain’s key memory hub has been revealed, reshaping how scientists understand learning ...

It’s a lot to wrap your head around. But it’s also this context in which I came across a study out of Baylor College of Medicine suggesting a predictable and yet insightful correlation among some of ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a critical role in recognition memory. Named 'ovoid cells' for their egg-shaped cell bodies, they increase understanding of how memories ...

As we age, changes often occur in our sense of smell and cognitive capacity. But new research reveals a simple way to potentially shore up brain power as we get older–by letting scent waft through the ...

Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez and his research team pose for a picture. Ramirez’s lab received a $1.15 million grant, which Ramirez says will help him open his memory neuroscience research to students ...

Approaching tasks with a curious as opposed to a high-pressure mindset may improve memory. The corresponding study was published in PNAS. For the study, researchers recruited 420 adults to play a ...
