Memories are thought to be encoded in the brain as enduring physical and chemical changes, or engrams. Although recent technological advances have enabled substantial progress in our understanding of ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers investigated whether post-encoding ripples improve emotional memory through amygdala-hippocampal memory restoration or ...

Coordinated, purposeful movements learned with one effector generalize to another effector, a finding that has important implications for tool use, sports, performing arts, and rehabilitation. This ...

New research suggests that psychedelic drugs may work by strengthening specific brain connections linked to memory and cognition.

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

With its ageing population, the prevalence of dementia in Hong Kong is expected to increase. Healthcare researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed an innovative ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

A team that has used two-photon imaging technology to show the creation and elimination of synapses between neurons in the brains of live mice. A University of Minnesota Twin Cities researcher is part ...

A new study in mice suggests that the brain creates multiple copies of memories, which enables it to regulate how they change over time. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The simple act of breathing, an involuntary reflex we rarely think about, is turning out to be a subtle conductor orchestrating a vital aspect of our mental life—our memory. A recent study in mice is ...
