Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

Think of a time when you had two different but similar experiences in a short period. Maybe you attended two holiday parties in the same week or gave two presentations at work. Shortly afterward, you ...

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a precise ...

As far back as Plato and Aristotle, people believed that our memories had to be physical somethings that were stored somewhere in the brain. But only in modern times have we learned much about what ...

Scientists from the University of Buffalo, Imperial College London, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and elsewhere have published new research that demonstrates how brain cells get better at ...

What is the mechanism that allows our brains to incorporate new information about the world, and form memories? New work by a team of neuroscientists led by Dr Tomás Ryan from Trinity College Dublin ...

Skoltech scientists have devised a mathematical model of memory. By analyzing its new model, the team came to surprising conclusions that could prove useful for robot design, artificial intelligence, ...

Scientists at Skoltech developed a new mathematical model of memory that explores how information is encoded and stored. Their analysis suggests that memory works best in a seven-dimensional ...
