Episodic memory encoding refers to the process by which experiences are transformed into stable neural representations that can later be recalled as events situated in time and place. In healthy ...

Memory encoding and retrieval arise from dynamic interactions among the hippocampus, neocortex and associated cortical regions. During encoding, sensory inputs are bound into cohesive representations ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological mechanism in memory formation: ripple-type brain waves—high-frequency electrical ...

Several studies have indicated that forgotten memories may not be as irretrievable as once thought. Memory appears to be closely tied to the context in which it was encoded. Consequently, remembering ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When Todd Sacktor was about to turn 3, his 4-year-old sister died of leukemia. “An empty bedroom next to mine. A swing set with two ...

That constant tab-switching habit might be doing more harm to your brain than you think. We’ve all been there – responding to emails while joining a Zoom call, scrolling social media during a TV show, ...

Highly superior autobiographical memory, or HSAM, is a remarkable ability that allows people to perfectly recollect every day of their life. In a new study, researchers conducted a polysomnography ...

Studies show THC can influence multiple stages of memory formation, shaping not just what we remember—but how accurately we remember it. New research suggests THC may do more than blur memory—it can ...
