Researchers have identified a molecule that appears to play a vital role in long term memory formation.
MIT researchers have identified a brain network that allows the brain to record memories of new places.
A new study reveals the piriform cortex is able to archive long term memory, but requires instruction from the orbiotfrontal cortex to indicate the event is to be stored as a long-term memory.
IDIBELL researchers have discovered a mechanism that allows us to segment experiences into memory units. Rapidly reactivating memories can lead to long term memory consolidation, they note.
Neuropeptide Substance P may help mediate social memory in the CA2 area of the hippocampus, researchers report.
Researchers use the TV show 'Sherlock' to investigate how the brain segments experiences during perception and long-term memory formation.
A new Scientific Reports study reveals alcohol may have a surprising effect on learning and memory. Researchers found those who drank alcohol following a learned word task had better recollection of the terms they learned the next day than those who did not drink.
Researchers from NYU investigate how short-term memory may evolve into long term memories.
Long-term memories remain 'silent' for about 2 weeks before reaching a mature state, a new study reports.
A new study provides insight into the underlying brain mechanisms that may be a root cause of dyslexia.
Blocking DNA methylation affects memory formation in honeybees, a new study reports.
According to a new study, the brain blocks the ability for creating new memories shortly after waking in order to prevent the disruption of the stabilization of memory consolidation that occurs during sleep.
