We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

An international team of scientists has developed specialized nanoparticles that can reverse the cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in mice. The treatment works by repairing the brain’s natural ...

Columbia scientists studying mice have identified specialized neurons that respond to a variety of cues to then instruct the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known ...

Anyone who makes a habit of losing their keys has a new excuse: you didn’t forget — your memory just moved. That’s courtesy of neuroscientists at Northwestern University, who recently published a ...

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects. Their work suggests a new target ...
