For decades, scientists have been puzzled by a simple question: Why can't you remember being a baby? Even though infants ...

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

A new study in mice suggests that the brain creates multiple copies of memories, which enables it to regulate how they change over time.

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.

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

Innovative brain-wide mapping study shows that 'engrams,' the ensemble of neurons encoding a memory, is widely distributed including among regions not previously recognized.

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 ...

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 ...
