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

This is where memory is essential to identity formation. The self is assembled not from everything that has happened to us, but from what the brain has chosen to preserve and retrieve.

Smell can evoke powerful memories, subtly influence attraction, and even regulate stress. But research suggests that what we sense depends as much on experience as on biology.

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 ...

Researchers use MEG imaging to show that the brain reactivates "forgotten" memories, but they only reach consciousness if they pulse at a specific rhythm.

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 ...

A revived Swiss fountain pen brand and new brain science converge on the same thesis: handwriting activates neural networks ...

A combination of war alerts, breaking news updates, and algorithmic feeds are trapping users in a threat-monitoring loop.

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.

While driving recently, a long-forgotten song came on the radio. I found myself singing along; not only did I know all the ...

Background Social memory-the ability to recognize familiar individuals and distinguish them from strangers-is fundamental to social cognition. Deficits in social memory are hallmarks of multiple ...

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 ...
