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 ...

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 ...

Storing and retrieving memories is among the most important tasks our intricate brains must perform, yet how that happens at a molecular level remains incompletely understood. A new study from the lab ...

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 single 20-minute session on a stationary bike can trigger a measurable surge in memory-linked electrical activity deep ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, gave one of this announcement-filled presentations at the 2025 GTC in San Jose. Among announcements ...

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 ...
