Working memory is a critical cognitive system that temporarily maintains and manipulates information for complex tasks such as reasoning, learning, and decision-making. It functions as an interface ...

Recognition memory research encompasses a diverse range of models and decision processes that characterise how individuals differentiate between previously encountered stimuli and novel items. At the ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from the ...

Researchers have investigated how sleep affects memory. They found a link between breathing and the emergence of certain brain activity patterns in sleep that are associated with the reactivation of ...

The field of systems neuroscience increasingly seeks to understand how distributed neural populations interact to support complex cognitive functions such ...

There are several factors that can influence an individual’s memory—and sleep habits are crucial. Beyond influencing our ability to fight disease and develop immunity, proper sleep is also essential ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Researchers found that gut microbes may contribute to memory loss by disrupting signals between the intestine and the brain.

Long-term memory consists of memories that the brain has stored over an extended period of time. These memories can be from an hour ago or from decades earlier. Share on Pinterest Monty Rakusen/Getty ...

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...
