Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

We investigated the interaction of episodic memory processes with the short-term dynamics of recency effects. This work takes inspiration from a seminal experimental work involving an odor-in-context ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from Stanford University and Yale University have explored the interplay between short-term and long-term memory in animals. Learning and memory in ...

Interference from distracting stimuli renders short-term memory vulnerable. While behavioral evidence suggests short-term memory deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the underlying neural mechanisms ...

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...
