In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from Stanford University and Yale University have explored the interplay between short-term and long-term memory in animals. Learning and memory in ...

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

Walking into a room and forgetting why you've done so is a rather common experience, and there's a surprising amount of ...

Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that ...

Multitasking usually lowers productivity because most people are “task switching,” which creates a mental “switch cost” that slows processing and reduces accuracy. Switching between tasks strains ...

Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified ...

Using optogenetics techniques, scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience identified a new pathway for forming long-term memories in the brain. Their findings suggest that long-term ...
