Researchers have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form independently of short-term memory, a finding that opens ...

Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

Memory is the fundamental cognitive process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information, specifically your experiences and knowledge. Some memories last mere seconds before your brain discards ...

Scientists at Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience discovered a parallel pathway for forming long-term memories that bypasses short-term memory. Using optogenetics, they blocked short-term ...

Imagine interacting with an AI assistant that not only remembers your preferences but also learns from past conversations to improve its responses over time. Whether it’s recalling your favorite ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators have discovered how brain cells responsible for working memory—the type required to remember a phone number long enough to dial it—coordinate intentional focus and ...
