A person’s memory is a sea of images and other sensory impressions, facts and meanings, echoes of past feelings, and ingrained codes for how to behave—a diverse well of information. Naturally, there ...

Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, creative process that reconstructs the past each time we reach for it.

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks. Researchers expected clear differences but instead found strong overlap ...

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Memory is a single word for a complicated brain process that actually takes many different forms. So what exactly is “memory,” and how can you keep your memory strong? You’ve likely heard of the two ...
