Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

Sleep reorganizes neural patterns in a way that helps memories take hold and prepares the brain for new information.

A new study reveals how the brain reprocesses and refines memories during sleep, particularly those related to spatial ...

Researchers have revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse ...

The hippocampal formation is a group of brain regions, including the hippocampus and some other structures closely connected ...

A new study reveals that memory-related brain activity continues to shift even after learning, challenging traditional views ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study reveals the reason: Our brains physically link memories that occur close ...

Researchers from ISTA discovered that sleep helps solidify spatial memories by reorganizing neuronal patterns. During non-REM ...

A new study explores the structural basis of memory formation in the mouse brain, revealing how neurons reorganize their ...

Why is sleep so important for learning and memory? Neuroscientists from the Csicsvari group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) provided new insight into this essential function ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...
