Summary: Researchers have identified ripple-type brain waves as key to how humans segment and store memories. By recording ...

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

For us to recall events, facts or processes, we have to commit them to memory. The process of forming a memory involves encoding, storing, retaining and subsequently recalling information and past ...

Working memory is a type of short-term memory, but it usually involves the active use of the information for immediate tasks, decision making, or problem-solving. In other words, you’re putting ...

Some brain scientists divide these types of memory into more specific categories. Sensory memory. Sensory memory holds sensory information for very brief periods of time, usually 1 second or less.

Types of long-term memory. As you would imagine, long-term memories are much more complex than short-term ones. We store different types of information (procedures, life experiences, ...

Being able to tie your shoelaces is an implicit memory. vistavision/Flickr, CC BY Multiple areas of the brain form implicit memories as they involve a variety of responses to be co-ordinated.

This schematic illustration shows the different elements of CA3 circuits and their hypothesized involvement in memory encoding and recall. The extensive excitatory interconnections between CA3 ...

Memory discrimination improved for emotional-type stimuli, with individuals correctly identifying repeat and new stimuli. The accuracy of memory discrimination was poorer for the Lure stimuli ...

A new study in mice suggests that the brain creates multiple copies of memories, which enables it to regulate how they change over time.
