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

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

You might say you have a "bad memory" because you don't remember what cake you had at your last birthday party or the plot of a movie you watched last month. On the other hand, you might precisely ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

New UK research challenges some scientists' fundamental assumptions about how memory works, relying on the entire brain.

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

Recent research suggests that repeated "replays" of episodic memories—i.e., memories of personal episodes from our past—can help improve our ability to visually distinguish between scenes, faces, and ...

Studying the inner workings of the human mind is always a thorny endeavor, and models for how our brains operate are continually being reexamined, revised, and reconfigured. While neurologists have ...

Your implicit memory helps you remember how to do things without consciously thinking about it. It includes skills and habits, like how to ride a bike and how to get around your house. It also ...
