Adult born neurons are essential for synaptic structural remodeling and memory consolidation during REM sleep, a new mouse study found. Read More
Study reveals people are only 53% likely to identify whether someone else in recounting and accurate or false memory of a crime. Read More
Delivering a memory-inducing scent to one nostril while a person sleeps helps boost memory retention. Read More
Delta waves isolate assemblies of cortical neurons that play an essential role in long-term memory formation and consolidation. Read More
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
Unexpected rewards boost memories of specific events. The findings may have implications for treating memory problems associated with depression. Read More
Hippocampal replay selectively enhances memory of highly rewarded locations in a familiar context. Read More
A rapid memory system transition from the hippocampus to the posterior parietal cortex is stabilized as we sleep. Sleep and repeated rehearsal of memory jointly contribute to long-term memory consolidation. Read More
The posterior hippocampus tracks distance to a newly learned location, as well as familiar environments. By contrast, when navigating a familiar location, the retrosplenial cortex takes over responsibility for tracking distance. The findings shed light on how the brain navigates and encodes spatial information. Read More
A new study reveals people fall asleep faster when being rocked. Additionally, they showed improvements in memory consolidation and spent more time in non-REM sleep. Read More
Researchers report episodic memory develops in distinct stages during postnatal maturation. Read More
