The molecule, neurotrophin-3, stimulates neurons to grow and make new connections.&nbsp;</p> August 14, 2019 - 11:36am Andy Fell /news/brain-molecule-identified-key-anxiety-model Brain Wave Device Enhances Memory Function /news/brain-wave-device-enhances-memory-function <p>The entrainment of theta brain waves with a commercially available device not only enhances theta wave activity, but also boosts memory performance. That’s according to new research from the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis, published recently in the journal&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17588928.2018.1521386"><em>Cognitive Neuroscience</em></a>.&nbsp;</p> October 22, 2018 - 3:12pm Andy Fell /news/brain-wave-device-enhances-memory-function Brain Awareness Week at ٺƵ /news/brain-awareness-week-uc-davis <p>March 13-19 is <a href="http://www.dana.org/BAW/">Brain Awareness Week</a>, a worldwide campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research, sponsored by the Dana Foundation.</p> March 09, 2017 - 11:36am Andy Fell /news/brain-awareness-week-uc-davis
