Discover how chronic stress reshapes memory encoding and retrieval, potentially leading to memory generalization and ...

In analyzing the map, researchers saw structures of the brain they expected to be involved in the memory making process, such as the thalamic, cortical, midbrain and brainstem. But they also saw more ...

From children's earliest strokes on a page to letter formation and spelling, writing helps students connect speech to print.

Though it’s still unclear why memory encoding seems to be stronger in babies more than 12 months old, it’s likely a result of major alterations taking place in the body.

While long-term memory (LTM) is known to be encoded in specific neural cells, engram neurons, it has been unclear how these engram neurons are formed during training. In Drosophila, aversive ...

While it is known that mRNA synthesis in memory trace neurons is pivotal to the encoding of memories, dynamic cellular monitoring of these neurons in vivo has proven difficult. “We still know very ...

Compelling research suggests neuronal activity in the hippocampus prior to the delivery of new information can enhance memory formation. The discovery points to a kind of "encoding mode" the brain ...
