Life may unfold as a continuous stream, but our memories tell a different story. We do not recall the past as one long, unbroken text. Instead, we remember it as a series of meaningful events, like ...

A new technique has provided a lens through which to view the proteins responsible for synaptic transmission during memory and learning.

All the latest science news on memory formation from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Neurobiologists have found a novel molecular mechanism that helps trigger the formation of long-term memory. The researchers believe the discovery of this mechanism adds another piece to the ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.

We’ve also known for almost two decades that the slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep supports memory formation.

Tweaking non-neural brain cells can cause memories to fade Neurons and a second cell type called an astrocyte collaborate to hold memories.

When we form a new memory, the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a "memory trace." A memory trace represents the specific patterns of activity and structural ...
