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

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks. Researchers expected clear differences but instead found strong overlap ...

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 ...

The traditional model of memory proposes that different types of long term memory are processed in separate brain modules.

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 ...

Researchers at Mayo Clinic have established new criteria for a memory-loss syndrome in older adults that specifically impacts the brain's limbic system. It can often be mistaken for Alzheimer's ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

The researchers have used non-volatile ferroelectric diode (ferrodiode) memory that has absolutely astonishing heat resistance and other properties that allow cutting-edge data and extreme environment ...

Edith Cowan University provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU. You might say you have a “bad memory” because you don’t remember what cake you had at your last birthday party or the plot ...
