A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from ...

Interestingly, the study revealed that participants remembered scenes with lower novelty more accurately, shedding light on how novelty encoding interacts with memory formation. Furthermore ...

Memory encoding starts with perception — the organisation and interpretation of sensory information from the environment. The salience of sensory information (for example, how bright a light is ...

Brain electrodes designed to mimic the hippocampus appear to boost the encoding of memories—and are twice as effective in people with poor memory. A unique form of brain stimulation appears to ...

These cues are represented by the activity of individual prefrontal units in a manner that is dependent on hippocampal input only during the cue-encoding phase of a spatial working memory task.

In a step toward practical molecular data storage, scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have created a new way to ...
