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 ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from the ...

Recognition memory research encompasses a diverse range of models and decision processes that characterise how individuals differentiate between previously encountered stimuli and novel items. At the ...

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory ...

Past neuroscience research has pinpointed many of the neural processes through which the human brain forms, stores and retrieves important information, such as domain-specific knowledge and memories.

First and foremost, we breathe in order to absorb oxygen - but this vital rhythm could also have other functions. Over the past few years, a range of studies have shown that respiration influences ...

Scientists at Arc Institute and Stanford University have discovered that age-related memory loss may be driven by changes in the gut rather than the brain itself. In a study published in Nature, ...

Researchers found that gut microbes may contribute to memory loss by disrupting signals between the intestine and the brain.

Neuroinflammation, a prolonged activation of the brain's immune system prompted by infections or other factors, has been linked to the disruption of normal mental functions. Past studies, for instance ...

Frequent internet users outperform in memory tasks, hinting at a 'use it or lose it' effect that keeps the brain sharp for recalling daily events. Study: Frequent internet use is associated with ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...
