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

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

Memory loss may not simply be a symptom of getting older. New research from Virginia Tech shows that it's tied to specific molecular changes in the brain and that adjusting those processes can improve ...

Memory representations are fundamental to human cognition, yet their integrity can be compromised with advancing age. Recent research has elucidated complex molecular and circuit-level mechanisms ...

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 retrieving different types of information, according to researchers from the School ...

The UCLA Brain Research Institute hosted the annual Southern California Learning and Memory Symposium on March 3. Participants and attendees gathered in the Neuroscience Research Building for a day of ...

Stress is the brain’s natural response to fear, but it often disrupts memory in the process, potentially impacting the possibility of memory loss. When preparing for a big presentation or taking a ...
