If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study ...

Mice are one of the species that we know experience infantile amnesia. And, thanks to over a century of research on mice, we have some sophisticated genetic tools that allow us to explore what's ...

Infants can form memories, and they use a memory structure in the brain called the hippocampus to do it, researchers report in the March 21 Science. The results shore up the idea that memories can in ...

Using cutting-edge genetic tools, 3D electron microscopy, and artificial intelligence, Scripps Research scientists and colleagues have uncovered key structural hallmarks of long-term memory, called an ...

A recent study reveals a surprising link between longevity and verbal fluency—the ability to effectively recall and utilize ...

Recent findings suggest that memories are stored in the body, not just the brain. Does that mean our "self" is too?

Humans are known to rapidly adapt their mental processes and behavior based on feedback they receive from the world around ...

An international team of scientists has revealed new clues about the neural mechanisms underlying memory formation and ...

New brain-inspired hardware, architectures and algorithms could lead to more efficient, more capable forms of AI.

Poor sleep among older adults is linked to disruptions in the brain's 'waste removal system', according to researchers. A recent study offers valuable insight into how sleep quality impacts brain ...

Episodic memory refers to a complex and multifaceted process which enables the retrieval of richly detailed evocative memories from the past. In contrast, semantic memory is conceptualized as the ...

There's no question that AI systems have accomplished some impressive feats, mastering games, writing text, and generating ...
