Researchers found that gut microbes may contribute to memory loss by disrupting signals between the intestine and the brain.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Working memory is a critical cognitive system that temporarily maintains and manipulates information for complex tasks such as reasoning, learning, and decision-making. It functions as an interface ...

You might recognize the word hippocampus even if you’re not a neurologist. The hippocampus has gained a reputation for storing the brain’s memories — but that’s not all it does. Learn more about this ...

We become forgetful as we age. This is often seen as a universal truth, but in fact it is far from universal: some people ...

Recognition memory research encompasses a diverse range of models and decision processes that characterise how individuals differentiate between previously encountered stimuli and novel items. At the ...

Memory is a continually unfolding process. Initial details of an experience take shape in memory; the brain’s representation of that information then changes over time. With subsequent reactivations, ...

Mount Sinai researchers have discovered for the first time a neural mechanism for memory integration that stretches across both time and personal experience. These findings, reported in Nature, ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory deficits caused by acute stress in mice, pinpointing a specific protein ...

Sensory memory is one of several memory types that make up your ability to process and recall what you see. Sensory memory is a brief precursor to short-term memory that allows you to process and ...
