Scientists just identified sequentially operating molecular 'timers' that decide what the brain stores as a memory and what it lets slip away
Every day, your brain is flooded with experiences, yet only a fraction survive past the next morning. A new study published in Nature in May 2026 now reveals why: a chain of molecular timers, each ...
Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Scientists just identified sequentially operating molecular 'timers' inside the brain that decide which experiences get stored as memories and which slip away
You probably remember what you had for breakfast this morning. You almost certainly do not remember what you had for ...
Researchers from Monash University, in collaboration with the European Biostasis Foundation and Apex Neuroscience, have revealed that although most neuroscientists agree that long-term memories depend ...
It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is was previously unknown. Now, a team of ...
Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...
