A new role for the hippocampus involving pattern separation and conjunctive representation in reinforcement learning is discussed.
Researchers have identified three distinct stages of brain development that occur before an episodic memory can form.
Researchers report episodic memory develops in distinct stages during postnatal maturation.
Researchers investigate why two people who experience the same event often have different memories of what occurred.
Study reports people access fully detailed memories at different speeds and levels of detail, often accessing older information first. Findings could help developing treatments for those with PTSD, researchers say.
After creating a memory in a context, engram cells encoding the memory in the hippocampus become more excitable when the context is repeated a short time later, researchers report.
Using AI technology, researchers provide new insight into how the human brain connects individual episodic memories to help solve problems.
What is the earliest memory you can recall? How sure are you the event really happened? Researchers say our earliest memories are more likely to be fictional.
Researchers have identified a network of cells in the entorhinal cortex that appear to play a key role into putting experience into a temporal context.
A new EEG study reveals people who are less able to sustain their attention long terms are more susceptible to creating false memories.
A neuroimaging study of sleeping two year olds reveals how specific brain regions are activated during memory recall.
Resilient memory performance during aging may be inherited, researchers say.
