While we’re asleep at night, our brain is doing something incredible. The hippocampus and the neocortex, two of its key regions, talk back and forth, processing information for long-term ...

A new international clinical trial has found that people living with major depression can reliably use a noninvasive brain ...

For the first time, researchers have mapped what deep brain stimulation actually does inside living human brain cells — and the answer centers on memory itself. A landmark study published August 5, ...

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for 20 minutes over 4 consecutive days can improve both short- and long-term memory for at least 1 month in older adults, new research suggests. The ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has disabled 1% to 2% of the population, and one of the most common disabilities among patients is problems with short-term memory. Electrical stimulation has emerged as a ...

Researchers developed a novel “closed-loop” system that delivered electrical pulses in a brain region to synchronize brain activity recorded from another region in the brain to improve memory. Among ...

New research provides the first physiological evidence from inside the human brain supporting the dominant scientific theory on how the brain consolidates memory during sleep. Further, deep-brain ...

A gentle pulse of electricity appears to improve older people’s ability to remember lists of words—even a month later. Many of us will struggle to remember things as we get older. A gentle form of ...
