Scientists have identified a previously unseen layered organization inside one of the brain’s most important memory hubs.

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a group of researchers assessed whether dendritic spine head diameter in the temporal cortex is a better predictor of episodic memory performance in ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...
