Our episodic memory – the ability to recall past events and experiences – is known to decline as we age. Exactly how and why ...

For years, scientists have known that the aging brain tends to shrink, but they have struggled to explain why some people ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...

Scientists have discovered a direct cause-and-effect link between faulty mitochondria and the memory loss seen in neurodegenerative diseases. By creating a novel tool to boost mitochondrial activity ...

Researchers found a powerful protein that helps strengthen the messaging system of the brain. The discovery could lead to new ways of treating diseases that interfere with the way brain cells talk to ...

Aging is a natural part of life, but with it comes an increased risk of cognitive decline. Memory lapses that once seemed harmless can gradually become more serious, and for millions of older adults, ...

Researchers have reversed memory loss in aging mice by targeting a protein that builds up in brain cells, pointing toward a potential pathway to counter the cognitive declines of aging. In a new study ...

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while we are resting, according to a new study in mice by University College ...

Struggling with ongoing sleep problems could do more than leave you groggy—it may accelerate memory decline and increase the risk of dementia. This is the warning of a study that found that older ...

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while ...
