Three main processes characterize how memory works. Encoding is the first type and refers to how information is learned, understood, and changed to support storage.

A team of scientists from the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes ...

The formal word for that is “encoding,” which, of course, I did not know. But I did intuitively understand that I had to pay attention to what Miss Torti said and to those things in my books ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological ...

The process of retrieving a memory is just as important as the process of encoding it. All too often we know something but cannot access it, like when you have a person’s name on the tip of your ...

If mice lose their vision immediately after birth due to a genetic defect, this has a considerable impact, both on the organization of the cerebral cortex and on memory. Researchers demonstrated ...

An intriguing new study from a team of Japanese researchers suggests handwriting on paper leads to greater brain activity and memory retention compared to handwriting with a stylus on a tablet ...

Cinnamon and Tim are ICS Pis on this multi-PI award from the NIH. Kent Hutchison, ICS Fellow is a PI from CU Denver's Anschutz Medical Center. This five year R01 study will add another Mobile Testing ...

Lesson 1: Encoding, consolidation, retrieval, re-consolidation. First, it was rather obvious that I couldn’t memorize some piece of her instruction if it did not register in the first place.
