A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

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 ...

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 ...

The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

Scientists at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota say they have identified a new type of memory loss. Limbic-predominant amnestic neurodegenerative syndrome, or LANS, affects the brain's limbic system, which ...

Memory actually takes many different forms. We know that when we store a memory, we are storing information. But, what that information is and how long we retain it determines what type of memory it ...

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 ...
