Memory

QBI researchers have discovered that an extract from the Lion's mane mushroom and its active components largely increase the size of growth cones, which are particularly important for brain cells to sense their environment and establish new connections with other neurons in the brain.

The clean-up of cellular ‘protein clumps’ could prevent the onset of some types of dementia.

Discovery research into the communication between brain cells could reveal the unknowns surrounding the origins of learning and memory.

A mineral found in many foods could reverse the cognitive impact of stroke and boost learning and memory in ageing brains.

Communication between two regions of the brain – the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex (PFC) – is essential for recognition memory.

Saturated fatty acids have emerged as key players in forming memories.
