Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Compelling new research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is suggesting neuronal activity in the hippocampus prior to the delivery of new information can ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

The field of systems neuroscience increasingly seeks to understand how distributed neural populations interact to support complex cognitive functions such ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

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.

In Speak, Memory, Vladimir Nabokov reflects on his past with such vivid clarity that people and places seem suspended in time, untethered from specific moments. His recollections evoke the feeling ...

Social memory—the ability to recognize familiar individuals and distinguish them from strangers—is fundamental to social cognition. Deficits in ...

The “circuit” metaphor of the brain is as indisputable as it is familiar: Neurons forge direct physical connections to create functional networks, for instance to store memories or produce thoughts.
