A long-running research endeavor reveals key chemical players that cement memories in place—and still more have yet to be discovered

Repeated exposure to emotional events leads to stronger memories due to stable brain representations, a new study finds.

Brain scans capture memory formation in babies, raising new questions about why people forget their earliest years

The brain's ability to form memories may rely on a chimera state, a strange physical state where some neurons sync up while others go rogue.

Researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) have found evidence that tiny cellular “spaceships” called vaults may play an important role in how the brain forms memories.

A newly discovered gut-brain connection turns meals into memories, and may offer novel ways to protect cognitive health.
