A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

Neurons in the brain interact by sending each other chemical messages, so-called neurotransmitters. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter, which is important to ...

Our episodic memory – the ability to recall past events and experiences – is known to decline as we age. Exactly how and why ...

A new study has revealed that neural inhibition and balanced neural activity in a specific area of the brain is required for recognition memory. The findings could help provide better understanding of ...

A comprehensive study involving over 10,000 MRI scans reveals that memory decline with age is linked to structural changes in the brain and individual genetic predispositions.

A new international study has offered a clearer understanding of how age-related brain changes affect memory. Scientists have ...

When people lack visual imagination, this is known as aphantasia. Researchers investigated how the lack of mental imagery affects long-term memory. They were able to show that changes in two important ...

We’re aware that a good night’s sleep helps to restore energy, but a new study in rats and mice, carried by scientists at Cornell University, has found that sleep also resets another vital function, ...

Memory loss with age isn’t always gradual. For some, it suddenly accelerates, leaving people alarmed at how quickly their ...
