A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in ...

We can handle traumatic and regretful memories in ways that combine what we learn from neuroscience and therapy.

Everyone sees themselves through their own eyes, but our memories shape how we judge the person staring back in the mirror.

Traditionally, explicit long-term memory (the intentional, conscious recollection of things and experiences) is divided into ...

Memory actually takes many different forms. We know that when we store a memory, we are storing information. But, what that information is and how long we retain it determines what type of memory it ...

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

Research continues to indicate how imperative it is for us to start protecting our memory earlier in life. But when it comes to implicit vs. explicit memory, what’s the difference? Why are they ...

A person’s memory is a sea of images and other sensory impressions, facts and meanings, echoes of past feelings, and ingrained codes for how to behave—a diverse well of information. Naturally, there ...

Memory is a single word for a complicated brain process that actually takes many different forms. So what exactly is “memory,” and how can you keep your memory strong? You’ve likely heard of the two ...
