Researchers have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form independently of short-term memory, a finding that opens ...

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 ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified ...

Your ability to recall the what, when, where, and how of a past experience comes from episodic memory, a type of long-term, explicit memory. Your memory allows you to retain information so you can use ...
