In the study published in the journal Memory & Cognition, Samantha Deffler finds that we tend to mix up names of family members whom we love. The 'family' folder from which you retrieve the name may include the name of your children, you siblings, and even your pet dogs.
A study conducted by the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) in Austria about the memory formation in the brain. The study finds out that hippocampus, the so far believed part of the brain to store memory is not the only part of the brain to create memories.
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) in collaboration with Germany’s RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Juelich, one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe has developed a new computing circuit to facilitate faster computing speeds due to combined memory and processor.
Children who are good at lying are found to be more intelligent and having better memories, according to a new study.
Scientists were able to find that extra sleep can improve memory using fly models to make the experiment. The right kind of sleep might be able to improve Alzheimer's symptoms.
In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine have discovered ways of altering an animal’s cognitive memories and subsequent interactions by erasing and reactivating memories in rats. Using genetically modified rats who are particularly sensitive to light, researchers were able to use optical pulses known to weaken and strengthen synapse connections in order to make a negative memory vanish, and just as suddenly reappear.
Many psychiatric disorders are accompanied by memory deficits. Basel scientists have now identified a network of genes that controls fundamental properties of neurons and is important for human brain activity, memory and the development of schizophrenia. Their results have been published in the online edition of the US journal Neuron.
Researchers in New York have released video footage of memories being formed in the brain.
