Retrieval is the stage of memory in which the information saved in memory is recalled, whether consciously or unconsciously. It follows the stages of encoding and storage.

The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds and contains 80 to 100 billion neurons, which are the cells that store information. But how do these cells store information? How do we retrieve that ...

Interpreted in the context of hippocampal anatomy and physiology, these findings reveal hippocampal circuit mechanisms that underlie memory encoding and retrieval.

Additionally, dual imaging of the Arc mRNA and calcium indicator in the CA1 hippocampus region during mouse navigation in a virtual environment highlighted that only the neuronal populations ...

There are three important aspects to memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Differences in each or a combination of these aspects might help explain why memories differ from one person to another.

Explicit memory is a type of long-term memory that involves consciously retrieving information. We'll go over common examples, how it compares to implicit memory, and more.
