A new study shows that 20 minutes of cardio can trigger memory-linked brain waves in the hippocampus, offering the first direct evidence of this effect in humans.

A study in mice concluded that memory problems associated with age may be driven by our gut microbiome and that the vagus ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

We become forgetful as we age. This is often seen as a universal truth, but in fact it is far from universal: some people ...

A new study has revealed that neural inhibition and balanced neural activity in a specific area of the brain is required for recognition memory. The findings could help provide better understanding of ...

The vagus nerve is a direct link between the gut and brain. Scientists have now used a mouse model to show that changes in ...

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory deficits caused by acute stress in mice, pinpointing a specific protein ...

Voluntary exercise reshapes gut microbiota and tryptophan metabolism, with consequences for the hippocampus, the ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The ...

A new study shows that when you finish your spouse's sentences or answer a fill-in-the-blank question, you're engaging the brain's relay station for memories, the hippocampus. Until now, scientists ...
