Memristors, or “memory resistors,” are the leading candidate for replacing synapses in a neuromorphic (brain-like) computer.

The potential of brain-computer interfaces ‘could be magical,’ but their collection of large amounts of neural data also ...

In a discovery that could reshape how we think about memory, researchers at Flinders University have found that forgetting is ...

Every time you tap, click, or scroll, your device stores and processes data with memory. Memory technology today, however, is ...

A new model suggests that astrocytes might be used in computation, coordinating with neurons and connecting synapses in networks. A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

Alzheimer’s disease affects more than seven million Americans, slowly erasing memory and thinking skills. For decades, doctors have relied on painful spinal taps, expensive brain scans, and imperfect ...

Alzheimer’s disease is often called a thief of identity, gradually erasing memory, language, and reasoning until little of the self remains. But by the time symptoms appear and doctors confirm a ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...
