A team of scientists from the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has ...

In this Review, Fell and Axmacher discuss how phase synchronization of neural oscillations facilitates neural communication and plasticity, and thereby promotes memory processes. They propose that ...

Researchers found that post-encoding ripples in the brain enhance emotional memory by improving stimulus identification and arousal, indicating a selective reinforcement of salient events for ...

Three main processes characterize how memory works. Encoding is the first type and refers to how information is learned, understood, and changed to support storage.

The human working memory (WM) is the cognitive system responsible for the temporary storage and processing of information vital to task completion. In contrast, human long-term memory (LTM) is the ...
