While we’re asleep at night, our brain is doing something incredible. The hippocampus and the neocortex, two of its key regions, talk back and forth, processing information for long-term ...

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for 20 minutes over 4 consecutive days can improve both short- and long-term memory for at least 1 month in older adults, new research suggests. The ...

For the first time, researchers have mapped what deep brain stimulation actually does inside living human brain cells — and the answer centers on memory itself. A landmark study published August 5, ...

Share on Pinterest A new study shows deep brain stimulation applied during the deepest sleep cycle improves the brain’s ability to make memories. Leah Nash/The Washington Post/Getty Images Sleep is ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. A study on the brain stimulation titled "Long-lasting, dissociable improvements in working memory and long-term memory in older adults with repetitive ...

Researchers developed a novel “closed-loop” system that delivered electrical pulses in a brain region to synchronize brain activity recorded from another region in the brain to improve memory. Among ...

A study by the University of Sheffield has cast doubt on the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in improving visual working memory. The research, published in Communications ...

For four consecutive days, 150 senior citizens pulled on a swim-like cap and allowed parts of their brain to be bathed with low-dose electrical pulses. During 20-minute sessions, they were given five ...

When they applied several currents that mimic natural slow-oscillating brain waves in sleep, they enhanced the memory of medical students who had done a word-learning task. “It leads to improved ...

A gentle pulse of electricity appears to improve older people’s ability to remember lists of words—even a month later. Many of us will struggle to remember things as we get older. A gentle form of ...

The cerebellum (Latin: little brain) is located beneath the cerebrum (Latin: brain). Cerebellar means "relating to the cerebellum." There are two cerebral hemispheres called "left brain-right brain" ...

AI-guided electrical stimulation in the brains of patients with traumatic brain injury improved memory, a collaborative new study shows. This builds on previous research involving epilepsy patients ...
