These "Doogie" mice (scientifically manipulated mice that make more than the usual amount of the NR2B subunit of the NMDA [N-methyl-D-aspartate] receptor) had better than average performances on mouse ...

Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez has found ways to plant memories in mice. Here's what that could mean for humans.

AUBURN, AL — In a recent development in Alzheimer's disease research, Auburn University scientists have studied a new drug, troriluzole, that can prevent brain changes leading to memory loss and ...

Healthy mouse neurons in the hippocampus. When the nine-letter microexon is excluded from the DAAM1 protein, the neurons form fewer connections with other cells. Cells have a trick called splicing.

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain. This work ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with other ...
