These findings not only deepen our understanding of memory encoding and retrieval but also provide insights into the hippocampus’s role as a coordinator and its interaction with the neocortex.

A new study sheds light on how our brains rhythmically organize memories at the level of individual nerve cells. Researchers ...

Despite a century of research, memory encoding in the brain has remained mysterious. Neuronal synaptic connection strengths are involved, but synaptic components are short-lived while memories ...

Using positron emission tomography, we show that bilateral amygdala activity during memory encoding is correlated with enhanced episodic recognition memory for both pleasant and aversive visual ...
