Learn how our brain stores organizes and stores memories in our sleep, making it easier for us to remember them.

A study proposes a mechanism that determines which memories are important enough to linger in the brain until sleep makes them permanent.

New research reveals why certain events remain clear in our minds and suggests ways to improve the likelihood of lasting memories.

Neuroscientists have established in recent decades the idea that some of each day's experiences are converted by the brain into permanent memories during sleep the same night.

Sleep is important for memory. Scientists have found how the brains of humans and other mammals tag which life events to store in memory and which to let fade.

Study proposes role for gamma oscillations in future treatment. Researchers have found that restoring gamma signals in the olfactory bulb, a brain region processing smells, can counteract depression. This breakthrough discovery highlights the potential of gamma-enhancement as a new approach to trea

Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Hungary's University of Szeged, a new study in mice and rats found that restoring certain signals in a brain region that processes smells countered depression.
