Click here to view original web page at Epigenetics Unlocks Secrets of Memory Formation Summary: A new study reveals that the epigenetic state of neurons determines their role in memory formation. Neurons with open chromatin states are more likely to be recruited into memory traces, showing higher electrical activity during learning. Researchers demonstrated that manipulating … Continue reading “Epigenetics Unlocks Secrets of Memory Formation”

Click here to view original web page at “Eureka Moments” Shed Light on Consciousness Summary: A new study proposes a novel approach to studying consciousness through behavioral observations and learning curves. The study highlights that learning often occurs in sudden leaps, suggesting these “eureka moments” are preceded by conscious cognitive processes. By examining the timing … Continue reading ““Eureka Moments” Shed Light on Consciousness”
