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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 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 ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them.

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 ...
