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.
Researchers describe in detail the underlying neurobiology of the "world's second most famous amnesiac", EP, who suffered profound memory loss after damage to key portions of his brain.
Disruptions in brain networks emerge around the same time as chemical markers for Alzheimer's disease appear in spinal fluid, new research suggests.
The neurons in the amygdala of ASD patients have reduced sensitivity to the eye region of other people's faces, a new study reports.
Researchers find caffeine has a positive effect on long-term memory.
A postmortem study of H.M's brain, based on histological sectioning and digital 3D construction, gives scientists and insight into the neurological basis for the case that defined modern studies of human memory.
Mathematical theories called global similarity models appear to correctly explain processing in the medial temporal lobe, an area of the brain associated with long term memory.
Neurons fire in line with conscious recognition of images, not the actual images seen, researchers report.
A new study suggests hippocampus is dedicated to memory formation, and not spatial skills.
Neurons change their firing properties at the exact moment new memories are formed, researchers report.
A new study reports people with insulin resistance, a feature common in type 2 diabetes, can increase the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
A new study offers evidence between rapid eye movement during sleep, accelerated brain activity and dream images.
