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. Read More
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. Read More
According to researchers, episodic memory may be important for helping middle aged and older adults to recover from negative events. Read More
According to researchers, the ability to assess memory quality appears in children, and metamemory continues to improve beyond childhood into adolescence. The findings could provide new insights into effective learning methods and assist teachers to devise new educational strategies. Read More
Indiana University researchers provide evidence that rats are able to mentally replay memories of past events. The study reveals the animals' memories were long lasting and resistant to interference from other memories, both of which are hallmarks of episodic memory, researchers say. Read More
Hippocampal short-wave ripples trigger spontaneous recollections and reinstate cortical representation during free recall of episodic memories. Read More
Working with patients with electrodes implanted in their brains, researchers show that areas of the brain work simultaneously to recall memories. The approach promises new insights into how we remember details of time and place. Read More
A new study hints that living a busy lifestyle may have benefits for mental function. Read More
A new study reports differences in memory types influence the nature of our future encounters. Read More
Researchers identify a neural circuit that connects the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex, which is responsible for encoding episodic memory. Read More
A new study provides insight into how certain memories become linked in the brain. Read More
