Sleep works magic on memory. You might’ve felt these frustrations before: Trying to learn a guitar riff, shoot a free-throw, or nail a difficult phrase in a new language, but despite hours of practice, you’re just not getting it right. Then with a good…
A new study from Cornell University reveals that sleep not only consolidates memories but also resets the brain’s memory storage mechanism. This process, governed by specific regions in the hippocampus, allows neurons to prepare for new learning without being overwhelmed. This insight opens potential…
A good night’s sleep is crucial for helping people make new memories: Neurons that capture new memories during the day reset while you sleep, researchers reported. Photo by Adobe Stock/HealthDay News A good night’s sleep is crucial for helping people make new memories, a…
While everyone knows that a good night’s sleep restores energy, a new Cornell University study finds it resets another vital function: memory. Learning or experiencing new things activates neurons in the hippocampus, a region of the brain vital for memory. Later, while we sleep,…

At a time when turbo cancers are alarming doctors and patients around the world thanks to the widespread use of risky COVID-19 vaccines, the need for effective cancer treatments has never been more pressing. Although this disease is notoriously difficult to treat, some people…
Summary: A recent study reveals that the quality, not the quantity, of synapses in the brain is crucial for preserving memory in older adults. Researchers found that larger dendritic spine head diameters in the temporal cortex correlate with better episodic memory performance, challenging the…
Summary: A new study finds that 40Hz light and sound therapy helps maintain myelin, a crucial brain structure, in Alzheimer’s patients. This therapy, which protects neurons and supports brain function, could offer new treatment avenues for neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers discovered that this stimulation enhances…
Early-stage trials in Alzheimer’s disease patients and studies in mouse models of the disease have suggested positive impacts on pathology and symptoms from exposure to light and sound presented at the “gamma” band frequency of 40 Hz. A new study zeroes in on how…

Credit: Miriam Alonso from Pexels National University of Singapore (NUS) nutritionists have found that 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) supplementation can improve sleep quality in Singaporean older adults, particularly in individuals with poor sleep patterns, and manage their gut microbiome composition. Ensuring good sleep quality is an…
People eat either because they are hungry or for pleasure, even in the absence of hunger. While hunger-driven eating is fundamental for survival, pleasure-driven feeding may accelerate the onset of obesity and associated metabolic disorders. A study published in Nature Metabolism reveals neural circuits…

Your “love hormone” can impact your blood pressure at times when your oxygen level is low. Recently, scientists have recently identified two brain-produced chemicals, including oxytocin, which is popularly known as the love hormone. The team concluded that they can affect our blood pressure…

Topline Researchers have found that increasing dopamine production in mice with Alzheimer’s disease improves their memory, a process they’re hopeful can be replicated in humans, though more testing for a better human alternative must be done. Woman hugging her older mother.getty Key Facts A…
Proteins are constantly performing a kind of dance. They move and contort their bodies to fulfill specific functions inside our bodies. The NMDAR protein executes an especially hard dance routine in our brains. One wrong step can lead to a range of neurological disorders….
