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 ...

Richard Addante, who has spent more than a decade researching episodic memory—the cognitive process that involves processing and retrieving long-term memory—has identified a new kind of human memory ...

In new language learners, errors that include the incorrect recall of foreign words are common. For example, in the Esperanto language, it is easy to confuse the words antidotoj (antidotes) and ...

A new study reveals that obesity accelerates brain aging by locking a vital memory-regulating molecular pathway called K63.

There is a fervent debate about the processes underpinning false memories formation. Seminal theories have suggested that semantic memory would be involved in false memories production, while episodic ...

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, ...

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 ...

Episodic memory is a type of long-term memory. It helps you remember the time, place, and details surrounding a specific event or experience in your life. For example, remembering what you had for ...
