Eggs fuel memory formation processes. Egg yolks deliver choline – a precursor to acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter most directly involved in forming long-term memories.

Distinct alignment patterns for retrieval, where the subspace for memory retrieval aligned with memory formation but not with novelty, suggesting process-specific coordination by the hippocampus.

A research team from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Barcelona, the UB Institute of Neurosciences (UBneuro) ...

Summary: Researchers have identified ripple-type brain waves as key to how humans segment and store memories. By recording ...

- Distinct alignment patterns for retrieval, where the subspace for memory retrieval aligned with memory formation but not with novelty, suggesting process-specific coordination by the hippocampus.

"Rather than long-term memory formation being a linear process that requires short-term memory, a parallel pathway to long-term memory formation that bypasses short-term memory must exist." ...

By releasing gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, glial cells can modulate the easiness of memory formation; a process termed meta-plasticity.

A gene that plays a key role in regulating how bodies change across the 24-hour day also influences memory formation, allowing mice to consolidate memories better during the day than at night.

Digital distraction and memory formation Today’s digital landscape has created unprecedented opportunities for distraction. The average person checks their phone 96 times daily – that’s once ...

The memory was not completely deleted, though. The mice still froze in the boxes they were supposed to freeze in, but they did it for a much shorter time on average.
