The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds and contains 80 to 100 billion neurons, which are the cells that store information. But how do these cells store information? How do we retrieve that ...

A team of scientists from the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has ...

A team of scientists has unveiled how the hippocampus orchestrates multiple memory processes, including encoding new information, forming memories, and retrieving them. A team of scientists from the ...

Generating new memories and remembering are two sides of the same coin, although sometimes they can appear as separate mechanisms. These mechanisms which seem to be distanced from each other are ...

RAM consists of a grid of memory cells, each capable of storing a small amount of data, typically one bit (binary digit) or a few bits. These cells are organized into rows and columns, forming a ...

Sometimes, we search for information in long-term memory and find it—a name, a movie title, or a vivid example to support a general conclusion. Other times, we're unable to recall what we believe we ...

In a recent study published in the journal Behavioral Sciences, researchers examined the memory scores and electroencephalogram (EEG) profiles of students to understand exam-induced stress and anxiety ...
