Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, ...

This study uses a Bayesian framework to characterize latent brain state dynamics associated with memory encoding and performance in children, as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

With its ageing population, the prevalence of dementia in Hong Kong is expected to increase. Healthcare researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed an innovative ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

Forgetting why you walked into a room isn’t a sign of cognitive decline. It’s your brain doing exactly what it evolved to do.

Memories get classified in ways that seem at first blush straightforward. They can be short-term or long-term, semantic or episodic. Semantic memories consist of remembered facts not personally ...

Students often look for quick tips to improve their memory and focus. But do ‘memory hacks’ actually work, or is long-term success built on habits? In an exclusive interview with HT Digital, Dr.
