Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...

You can use up all the storage on your phone or max out your computer's drive, but can you use up all the memory space in your brain? Despite how you might feel before an exam or after a sleepless ...

Using matched tasks and fMRI, researchers found no difference in brain activity during successful episodic and semantic retrieval. The results show overlapping neural systems support both memory types ...

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...
