Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, according to researchers from the School ...

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 ...

Memory is the way your brain takes in and stores information so you can use it later on. Memories define who you are in a lot of ways. They help you recall things like important dates, facts, and even ...

Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.

EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in ...

A new study uses optogenetics and roflumilast to prove sleep deprivation blocks memory retrieval, not storage.

You might say you have a “bad memory” because you don’t remember what cake you had at your last birthday party or the plot of a movie you watched last month. On the other hand, you might precisely ...

Do women have better memories than men, or is it simply a stereotype reinforced by everyday experiences? The discussion resurfaced recently when neuroscientist Vidita Vaidya spoke about sex ...
