Brain researchers long knew that the model for studying memory oversimplified the complex processes that the brain uses to decide what to keep and for how long. A new study demonstrated “a cascade of ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...

Researchers have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form independently of short-term memory, a finding that opens ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

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 ...

Researchers have learned a lot about how memory works. Their insights form the basis of clever strategies that help us ...

Knowledge is power, as long as you actually put that knowledge to use. Success in any pursuit is based on what you do with what you know: It follows that the more you retain and remember, the more you ...

Researchers are testing a new approach to repair early memory loss by protecting brain connections affected in Alzheimer’s ...

Memory is the way your brain takes in and stores information so you can use it later on. Memories define who you are in a lot of ways. They help you recall things like important dates, facts, and even ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...
