It seems as though the more we embrace external technologies, the more our memory faculties deteriorate. But the truth might just be scarier.

Take a break from the bench to puzzle and peruse.

The Yale neuroscientist seeks to understand the brain’s architecture and function using C. elegans.

Adult neurogenesis, already appreciated for its role in learning and memory, also participates in mental health and possibly even attention, new research suggests.

Kim Peek, the inspiration for the title character in Rain Man, brought public attention to savant syndrome.

Microglia ingest nerve cell connections, leading to the loss of information stored in neuronal circuits.

Rats and equations help researchers develop a theory of how our brains keep track of when events took place.

Signals from the lateral entorhinal cortex help create “time cells” in the hippocampus, according to some researchers.

Cutting-edge microscopy is revealing how new neurons made in adult mice’s brains tap into existing neuronal connections.
