The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds and contains 80 to 100 billion neurons, which are the cells that store information. But how do these cells store information? How do we retrieve that ...

Sometimes, we search for information in long-term memory and find it—a name, a movie title, or a vivid example to support a general conclusion. Other times, we're unable to recall what we believe we ...

When you memorize something, the brain creates a nerve-impulse code to create a representation of the information in the brain, and this code can get stored in memory. Upon retrieval, the code is ...

Scientists have made a breakthrough in our understanding of how memories form in the brain and how this process may be disrupted by not getting enough sleep. The findings offer exciting insights into ...

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 ...

It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn't enough to meet the growing data ...

The retrieval-extinction paradigm elicits a short-term fear amnesia that differs in cue specificity, timescale, and dependence on thought-control ability from the long-term amnesia believed to be ...

In a recent study published in the journal Behavioral Sciences, researchers examined the memory scores and electroencephalogram (EEG) profiles of students to understand exam-induced stress and anxiety ...
