The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds and contains 80 to 100 billion neurons, which are the cells that store information. But how do these cells store information? How do we retrieve that ...

The medial septum is far more than a mere metronome responsible for setting the pace of the hippocampal theta rhythm. It resembles more of a maestro, conducting a symphony of oscillations spanning a ...

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, ...

When you memorize something, the brain creates a nerve-impulse code to create a representation of the information in the brain, and this code can get stored in memory. Upon retrieval, the code is ...

The first ever real-time visualization technique of mRNA in brains of living mice is a tool to uncover the secrets of memory formation and storage, and memory-related diseases including Alzheimer’s.

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 ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...
