Neurons, the brain cells responsible for relaying chemical and electrical messages, have long been considered the key players in memory formation — but new research in rodents suggests that the cells ...

New research shows that long-term memory is not stored by a single molecular switch, but by a sequence of timed genetic programs unfolding across different brain regions.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...
