For the first time, scientists have found that the region in our brain that houses memory is made up of not one but two sections: one that deals with past experiences of time and places, and one that ...

Virtual memory CD8+ T cells (T VM) are a relatively recent discovery in humans. A new review discusses what is known about them from mouse models and their cellular equivalents in humans, as described ...

In the brain, a region called the hypothalamus is known to play a role in the control of hunger, while the hippocampus functions in learning and memory. Now researchers have found a link between those ...

Researchers at EPFL have found that an existing drug used to treat cancer, among other things, also seems to improve memory. Intriguingly, tests in mice show that the drug works by switching on genes ...
