For decades, scientists have been puzzled by a simple question: Why can't you remember being a baby? Even though infants ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological ...

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

Though it’s still unclear why memory encoding seems to be stronger in babies more than 12 months old, it’s likely a result of major alterations taking place in the body.

Discover how chronic stress reshapes memory encoding and retrieval, potentially leading to memory generalization and ...

Compelling research suggests neuronal activity in the hippocampus prior to the delivery of new information can enhance memory formation. The discovery points to a kind of "encoding mode" the brain ...

While it is known that mRNA synthesis in memory trace neurons is pivotal to the encoding of memories, dynamic cellular monitoring of these neurons in vivo has proven difficult. “We still know very ...
