Patterns of neural activity called theta oscillations have a role in memory encoding but – contrary to current thinking – do not appear to have a role in memory retrieval.

Over recent decades, research has increasingly supported the notion that specific patterns of eye movements can modulate memory retrieval processes. In particular, bilateral saccadic eye movements are ...

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 ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons ...

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 ...

Generating new memories and remembering are two sides of the same coin, although sometimes they can appear as separate mechanisms. These mechanisms which seem to be distanced from each other are ...

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 brief bout of physical exercise can create "ripples" of activity in your brain that help you store and retrieve memories.

WebMEM creates a structured memory layer that Google’s MUVERA technology was specifically designed to retrieve, enabling fragment-level AI retrieval rather than whole-page content. Unlike traditional ...
