Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it’s recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...

Humans are known to rapidly adapt their mental processes and behavior based on feedback they receive from the world around them. For instance, some past studies have shown that people progressively ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

It’s lunchtime, and you and your friend are hungry. You venture into the kitchen and make your favorite sandwich—peanut butter and jelly. You assume your friend can make the same thing, but they have ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, the findings could redefine how memory ...

A study has investigated the possible scenarios that could lead to waning memory in some older people. Aging becomes apparent in various ways, one of them being changes in memory function. But some ...

Memory is often understood purely on a theoretical, cognitive basis. However, this perspective can only explain so much. Neuroanatomy offers an understanding of the physical areas of the brain in ...
