The neocortex is the largest and most complex part of the brain and has long been considered the ultimate storage site for long-term memories. But how are traces of past events and experiences laid ...

Researchers discover how the 'Zona Incerta' communicates with the neocortex. The neocortex is the largest and most complex part of the brain and has long been considered the ultimate storage site for ...

In a recent study published in Science, researchers demonstrated how transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) gene expression influenced neocortical neurogenesis in modern humans. Study: Human TKTL1 implies ...

The neocortex of our brain is the seat of our intellect. New data suggests that mammals created it with new types of cells that they developed only after their evolutionary split from reptiles. The ...

Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, creative process that reconstructs the past each time we reach for it.

A single 20-minute session on a stationary bike can trigger a measurable surge in memory-linked electrical activity deep ...

Researchers capture the first direct evidence in humans that a single 20-minute exercise session triggers memory-boosting brain ripples.
