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

The encoding techniques enable participants to organise pertinent aspects like person, place, time and object, and establish connections between these concepts, enhancing learning and memory.

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.

Neuroimaging studies show that the efficacy of long-term memory encoding of a stimulus is indexed by transient neural activity elicited by that stimulus. Here, we show that successful memory ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that listening to music immediately after an experience can enhance memory—if the emotional response is just right.
