A team of UChicago psychology researchers used fMRI scans to learn why certain moments carry such lasting power ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers investigated whether post-encoding ripples improve emotional memory through amygdala-hippocampal memory restoration or ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

Compelling new research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is suggesting neuronal activity in the hippocampus prior to the delivery of new information can ...

Innovative brain-wide mapping study shows that 'engrams,' the ensemble of neurons encoding a memory, is widely distributed including among regions not previously recognized. A new study by scientists ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

A novel viral tool (FLEN) is designed, and used to monitor changes in the intrinsic and synaptic properties of engram cells quickly (3–6 hours) following encoding of a memory.

An intriguing new study from a team of Japanese researchers suggests handwriting on paper leads to greater brain activity and memory retention compared to handwriting with a stylus on a tablet. The ...

In the brains of adult mice, communication through astrocyte networks controls the formation of spatial memories and plasticity in the hippocampus, a new study led by scientists at the Institute of ...

Memory is a continually unfolding process. Initial details of an experience take shape in memory; the brain’s representation of that information then changes over time. With subsequent reactivations, ...
