Neuroscientists at King's College London have pinpointed a mechanism behind the increased neural connectivity observed in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Published in Translational ...

Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, ...

Researchers have used brain imaging to show how memories can be reactivated in the brain without them reaching conscious awareness, showing that these memories persist even when we think they have ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

This study uses a Bayesian framework to characterize latent brain state dynamics associated with memory encoding and performance in children, as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

Studies suggest that a stronger gripping ability may help cut your risk of dementia. Here’s why. If you’ve ever had trouble opening a pickle jar, you know that it can make you feel momentarily ...

Add Silicon Canals to your Google News feed. Remember when you had to actually memorize your best friend’s phone number? Or when getting somewhere new meant printing out MapQuest directions and hoping ...

"Where are those darn keys? I just had them!” If you find yourself losing things often, there are strategies for how to stop. Daniel L.

Edith Cowan University provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU. 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 ...

Memory chips are a key component of artificial intelligence data centers. The boom in AI data center construction has caused a shortage of semiconductors, which are also crucial for electronics like ...

Memory and cognitive control are fundamentally intertwined, but their interactions have only recently attracted researcher attention and the underlying mechanism of the interactions remains to be ...
