Sleep reorganizes neural patterns in a way that helps memories take hold and prepares the brain for new information.

A new study reveals how the brain reprocesses and refines memories during sleep, particularly those related to spatial ...

New research from the University of Chicago challenges long-held beliefs about how synaptic plasticity contributes to memory and learning. As animals encounter new experiences, the connections between ...

The hippocampal formation is a group of brain regions, including the hippocampus and some other structures closely connected ...

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

A new study reveals that memory-related brain activity continues to shift even after learning, challenging traditional views ...

Scientists have long thought that babies can’t form experiential memories. Turns out, they can. Adults just can’t remember ...

NIH-funded study uses cutting-edge imaging techniques to reconstruct features underlying learning and memory in the mouse ...
