Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Animals and electronic devices aren't the only things with memory. Materials can retain memories of past deformations in their microscopic structure. A common example is a crease in a sheet of paper ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Intensity-Dependent Memory Erasure: Under low rocking amplitudes, directional memory remains intact. As rocking intensity crosses a specific threshold, frequent particle collisions disrupt the ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from Stanford University and Yale University have explored the interplay between short-term and long-term memory in animals. Learning and memory in ...

The idea that goldfish forget everything in seconds has been repeated so often it feels like settled science, but researchers ...

Memory is a single word for a complicated brain process that actually takes many different forms. So what exactly is "memory," and how can you keep your memory strong? You've likely heard of the two ...

Episodic memory is a type of long-term memory. It helps you remember the time, place, and details surrounding a specific event or experience in your life. For example, remembering what you had for ...

Research continues to indicate how imperative it is for us to start protecting our memory earlier in life. But when it comes to implicit vs. explicit memory, what’s the difference? Why are they ...
