Exploring the mechanisms involved in sleep-dependent memory storage, a team of cellular biologists found that RNAs associated with an understudied cell compartment in hippocampal neurons vary greatly ...

A collaboration between SISSA's Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are ...

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations — it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few ...

One month after learning, new myelin (green) has been added to existing myelination (magenta) in the medial prefrontal cortex of an adult mouse. Image credit: Chan & Kheirbek labs Most memories fade ...

Memory doesn’t live only in the brain. Scientists are uncovering signs that cells throughout the body can remember, too. These findings are starting to challenge old ideas about how and where memory ...

While there are several theories of memory that describe how learners take in, store, and retrieve information, the simplest theory for our purposes breaks memory into the following parts: For the ...

Learning programs the brain. It is nature’s way to create simultaneously both “hardware” and “software” for the brain. Neuroscientists have long known that learning experiences change the functional ...

The idea of combining memory and storage into one component has been around for a long time, but up until now, it was nowhere near becoming a reality. However, that might be about to change.

This is the second in a set of three blogs about projections for digital storage and memory for the following year that we have been doing for a while. Our first blog focused on the latest ...
