MIT researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain’s massive storage capacity.

In a discovery that could reshape how we think about memory, researchers at Flinders University have found that forgetting is not just a glitch in the […]

A recent experiment provides evidence that relying on artificial intelligence to study tends to reduce how much information students remember weeks later.

Aging is accompanied by the disruption of multiple neural systems including alteration in dopamine neurotransmission as well as through the accumulation of neuropathology. Despite broad appreciation that complex mental function relies on integration across…

Researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute have shown how microscopic structures in the brain’s retrosplenial cortex (RSC) help the retrieval of memories.

Nature Neuroscience - Forgotten memories in Drosophila persist as silent memory traces and can be recovered by reminder cues. Manipulating reminders can create false memories, showing that memory...
