A new study shows that 20 minutes of cardio can trigger memory-linked brain waves in the hippocampus, offering the first direct evidence of this effect in humans.

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to synaptic strengthening.

A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory accuracy but increases the spread of associations across the hippocampal ...

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

A study by the University of Colorado found heavy cannabis use affects working memory in young adults. 63% of heavy cannabis users showed reduced brain activity during memory tasks. Researchers ...
