Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a fundamental role in recognition memory. It means how the brain registers the difference between new and familiar objects and forms long-term memories. These are named Ovoid Cells. They are found in the hippocampus of mice, humans
Multiple studies in animal models have shown that melatonin and its derivatives improve memory. It is also known that the phosphorylation of certain memory-related proteins is required for the formation of both short- and long-term memories.
