Using brain scans and virtual reality technology, researchers discover how a temporal map of memories is generated in the entorhinal cortex.
A new study which used a video game where people navigate through a virtual town helps researchers to pinpoint how spatial information is incorporated into memory, and why remembering a specific experience can trigger memories of events which occurred in the same location.
A small scale pilot study reveals adults with mild cognitive impairment may have improved brain function and memory when they switch to a high-fat, low-carb diet.
The size and shape of neural assemblies, and not the strength of signals processed by neurons or the order in which they fire, is the most critical element of recording episodic memory.
A neuroimaging study reveals brain areas not commonly associated with science learning become active when people complete physics problems.
Moderate alcohol consumption in people over the age of 60 is linked to greater hippocampal volume and better episodic memory, a new study reports.
A new EEG study reveals people who are less able to sustain their attention long terms are more susceptible to creating false memories.
A small set of hippocampal neurons activate for each episodic memory, a new PNAS study reports.
Researchers report episodic memory develops in distinct stages during postnatal maturation.
Unexpected rewards boost memories of specific events. The findings may have implications for treating memory problems associated with depression.
Researchers have identified a neural circuit that is critical for memory retrieval.
A new study reports that when someone tries to remember one aspect of an event, the representation of the entire event can be activated in the brain.
