As tau builds up in our brains, non-REM brain waves necessary for memory formation become erratic.

Frontal cortical tau pathology in aging humans is associated with reduced slow-wave travel during sleep. This reduced propagation is associated with poorer overnight memory retention, supporting a lin...

Parents want accountability after study went disastrously wrong, Science and Retraction Watch investigation reveals

Communications Engineering, Published online: 24 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s44172-026-00611-wLeonhard Schreiner and colleagues investigate how EEG electrode density shapes visual decoding performance, showing that denser arrays yield higher accuracy. Their findings delineate the practical limits of non-invasive EEG and offer guidance for selecting electrode count and spatial configuration

A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Understanding how the brain represents experienced time and how representations of space and time are integrated to form episodic memories has been a goal of much neuroscientific research. In this Per...
