Using matched tasks and fMRI, researchers found no difference in brain activity during successful episodic and semantic retrieval. The results show overlapping neural systems support both memory types ...

Traditionally, explicit long-term memory (the intentional, conscious recollection of things and experiences) is divided into ...

Everyone sees themselves through their own eyes, but our memories shape how we judge the person staring back in the mirror.

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

A person’s memory is a sea of images and other sensory impressions, facts and meanings, echoes of past feelings, and ingrained codes for how to behave—a diverse well of information. Naturally, there ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and Duke University ...

Memory is the way your brain takes in and stores information so you can use it later on. Memories define who you are in a lot of ways. They help you recall things like important dates, facts, and even ...

While some decline in the ability to remember is a normal part of aging, for a subset of people, growing older brings the onset of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. In such ...
