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 ...

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

New research reveals a cascade of molecular timers unfolding across the hippocampus, thalamus, and cortex determine whether short-term impressions consolidate into long-term memory, with implications ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified ...
