Memory

Neuroscientists have identified the physical locations where memories are stored in the brain. But would that enable us to retrieve memories from someone who has died?

Stress can shape how memories are formed, a study in mice suggests. The findings could point the way to future treatments for PTSD and anxiety.

If you didn't forget things, you'd be in for a world of trouble.

A recent brain-scan study sheds light on how people's brains divide continuous experiences into meaningful segments, like scenes in a movie.

When the brain "juggles" information, things can fall through the cracks.

A new study in mice suggests that the brain creates multiple copies of memories, which enables it to regulate how they change over time.

Can we trust our earliest memories, or are they unreliable?

A new study revealed what happens in the brain when people plan and execute learned movement patterns.

Researchers genetically altered mouse brain cells to produce physical timelines of their key events in the form of a self-assembling chain of fluorescent proteins.

The brain stores memories by creating new circuits of communication between neurons. In particular, seahorse-shaped structures called hippocampi play an important role.
