A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from the ...

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, ...

A research team in Freiburg has investigated how random sounds played during sleep affect the consolidation of new memories.

For several years now, sleep research has been focusing intensively on the question of whether targeted auditory stimulation ...

Summary: A new study discovered that randomly played sounds during sleep can actively impair memory consolidation. By ...

The first steps, the first words, a favorite toy or a birthday — most people can't remember almost anything from the first ...

Human memory encompasses multiple processes that support the encoding, storage and retrieval of information. In recognition tasks, two principal mechanisms—familiarity and recollection—operate in ...

Human perception organises the continuous flow of sensory information into meaningful units known as events. This segmentation is driven by changes in perceptual features (such as shifts in spatial ...

First and foremost, we breathe in order to absorb oxygen - but this vital rhythm could also have other functions. Over the past few years, a range of studies have shown that respiration influences ...

Humans are known to rapidly adapt their mental processes and behavior based on feedback they receive from the world around them. For instance, some past studies have shown that people progressively ...

Recent breakthroughs in neuroscience have brought us closer to understanding the mechanisms of memory loss in aging brains, and potentially how to reverse it. These advances span from identifying a ...
