From the moment a drug first enters the brain, major changes occur in brain chemistry and structure.

The key to making a memory permanent would be simpler than we thought.

Can the brain communicate with another person without speaking, gesturing, or using any other part of the human body?

The research has been conducted with Holocaust surviving families.

We know that running is in fashion. This is what everyone now calls what used to be called 'running', and the amount of products and advertising that move around it is incredible.

Learning about the relevance of the images we see every day modifies our brain's neural networks.

Can a positive memory replace a negative one? Does our memory have healing power to stop fighting depression? It was under these premises that the study carried out by scientists from the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics, a joint collaboration of the RIKEN Institute of Brain Sciences in Japan and MIT (USA), began.

Is it possible to restore memory to people who have lost it due to amnesia or even, going further, victims of Alzheimer's disease? These possibilities were entirely unlikely, until now. A team of scientists led by Nobel laureate Susumu Tonegawa has managed to advance this goal by successfully returning memories lost due to amnesia to a group of laboratory mice.
