A team of scientists from the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers investigated whether post-encoding ripples improve emotional memory through amygdala-hippocampal memory restoration or ...

Some memories remain with us for years, shaping how we learn from experience and adapt to the world around us. Others ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

In an important study for understanding how memories are made, cientists show that the flexibility of chromatin -- packaged DNA inside the cell -- plays a crucial role in 'deciding' which neurons are ...

A regulatory protein in astrocytes may explain how certain memories persist over time for learning and cognitive function.

Sometimes, we search for information in long-term memory and find it—a name, a movie title, or a vivid example to support a general conclusion. Other times, we're unable to recall what we believe we ...

Summary: Astrocytes, star-shaped non-neuronal cells, serve as active gatekeepers of long-term memory stability. By ...

Episodic memory is a type of long-term memory. It helps you remember the time, place, and details surrounding a specific event or experience in your life. For example, remembering what you had for ...
