This is where memory is essential to identity formation. The self is assembled not from everything that has happened to us, but from what the brain has chosen to preserve and retrieve.

Seep deprivation impairs social memory by disrupting oxytocin signaling in the hippocampus and prelimbic cortex.

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 ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

Background Social memory-the ability to recognize familiar individuals and distinguish them from strangers-is fundamental to ...

In an important study for understanding how memories are made, cientists show that the flexibility of chromatin -- packaged DNA inside the cell -- plays a crucial role in 'deciding' which neurons are ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...
