Researchers at Tsukuba University in Japan report that memories acquired while awake are stored in a more permanent form (called memory consolidation) during the REM stage of sleep, and that this ...

Our understanding of memory and learning has been largely overshadowed by neurocentric studies, leaving non-neuronal cells out of the equation. The cellular substrate for memory is thought to lie ...

Flexible decision making is fundamental to day-to-day life. It often requires us to form expectations regarding the consequences of potential actions and to later retrieve those memories to guide ...

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 ...

The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store ...
