In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

The field of systems neuroscience increasingly seeks to understand how distributed neural populations interact to support complex cognitive functions such ...

You might recognize the word hippocampus even if you’re not a neurologist. The hippocampus has gained a reputation for storing the brain’s memories — but that’s not all it does. Learn more about this ...

Working memory is a critical cognitive system that temporarily maintains and manipulates information for complex tasks such as reasoning, learning, and decision-making. It functions as an interface ...

Mount Sinai researchers have discovered for the first time a neural mechanism for memory integration that stretches across both time and personal experience. These findings, reported in Nature, ...

Memory is a continually unfolding process. Initial details of an experience take shape in memory; the brain’s representation of that information then changes over time. With subsequent reactivations, ...

Sensory memory is one of several memory types that make up your ability to process and recall what you see. Sensory memory is a brief precursor to short-term memory that allows you to process and ...
