Brain waves driven more by remembering an event than the event itself

A study has found that remembering an event drives brainwave production more than engaging in the event does A new study has found that contrary to popular scientific belief, remembering an event drives the production of memory-related brain waves more than actually engaging in…

New study links brain waves directly to memory

Neurons produce rhythmic patterns of electrical activity in the brain. One of the unsettled questions in the field of neuroscience is what primarily drives these rhythmic signals, called oscillations. University of Arizona researchers have found that simply remembering events can trigger them, even more…

Living a Varied Life Boosts Brain Connectivity in Mice

The brains in mice benefit from an active and varied lifestyle by forming enhanced neural connections. Researchers in Germany compared the brain activity of mice raised in different environments and found those raised in an ‘enriched’ environment had more activity in their hippocampus ,…

Studies show common prescription medications raise DEPRESSION risk

Numerous studies have associated certain prescription with the emergence or worsening of depression symptoms. A recent study published in JAMA found that more than a third of U.S. adults are taking prescription medications that could potentially cause depression or increase suicide risk. While not…

This simple brain hack may help boost memory and improve your mental health

Researchers from Duke University have revealed a simple ” brain hack ” that has the potential to boost both your memory, but also your mental health. They discovered this in a rather unusual way – by getting more than 400 people to play at…

The Utility of Memories Dictates Their Place in Our Brain

The Utility of Memories Dictates Their Place in Our Brain

Summary: Researchers propose a fresh perspective on systems consolidation, the process by which certain memories are moved from the hippocampus to the neocortex for long-term storage. Their theory, backed by a mathematical neural network model, posits that the consolidation of memories depends on their…
