Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into “what” and “where/when” using two different groups of neurons.

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

Astronauts in cryosleep is one of science fiction's most enduring fantasies – but a new study suggests the gap between ...

Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

A new study suggests a single exercise session can increase electrical “ripples” in parts of the brain that support memory and learning ability. The research recorded electrical activity directly from ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...
