Mouse study reveals brain activity patterns associated with memory recall become active when learning by observation.
A shared set of brain regions play a vital role in the retrieval of weak memories.
People occasionally correctly recall information in the presence of strong semantic clues without previously storing the information to memory.
Hippocampal short-wave ripples trigger spontaneous recollections and reinstate cortical representation during free recall of episodic memories.
Using a mathematical model, researchers uncover the effects of emotion in memory encoding. They hope the data can be used to predict which experiences a person is most likely to recall.
Using non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation to target the left rostrolateral prefrontal cortex improves memory retrieval.
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.
Napping influences memory in the right hemisphere of the brain, inducing false memories in a word recall test, researchers report.
Researchers report they have discovered how the mouse brain links different memories over time.
A new study reports drawing helps you to recall words better than writing the words down.
According to researchers, episodic memory may be important for helping middle aged and older adults to recover from negative events.
Researchers believe their findings could help to develop better cognitive training for those at risk for Alzheimer's disease.
