High-Speed AFM Unveils How Brain Enzyme Forms a Dodecameric Ring in Memory Formation
Groundbreaking Real-Time Imaging of a Brain Enzyme Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University have achieved a milestone in neuroscience imaging. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), they captured real-time videos of a key brain enzyme as it self-assembles into a dodecameric ring. The study, conducted in Kanazawa, Japan, sheds light…

Breakthrough Study Suggests Alzheimer’s Reversal via Restored Brain Energy
Breakthrough Study Points to a Reversible Aspect of Alzheimer’s Disease For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been considered an irreversible neurodegenerative condition. A new line of research, however, is challenging that long-held view by demonstrating that restoring energy metabolism in the brain can revive memory and cognitive function in animal models. While these findings are preliminary…

Gated Associative Memory Networks Achieve Robust Retrieval Beyond Critical Capacity
Introduction Associative memory is a foundational concept in neuroscience and artificial intelligence: the ability to recall a complete pattern from partial cues. Recent work on gated associative memory networks shows that incorporating neuromodulation-inspired gating mechanisms can dramatically improve retrieval robustness, even when the system operates beyond its traditional critical capacity. This article explains how these…
