Discover research on memorization techniques for studying. Learn how repetition learning theory and spaced repetition boost ...

The human brain is constantly flooded with sights, sounds and sensations, yet only a fraction of those experiences become lasting memories. Behind that quiet sorting process is a set of biological ...

Memory is a continually unfolding process. Initial details of an experience take shape in memory; the brain’s representation of that information then changes over time. With subsequent reactivations, ...

It turns out your brain might not be the only part of your body that remembers. Scientists at NYU have found that cells outside the brain—like those from your kidneys—can actually "learn" and form ...

Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez has found ways to plant memories in mice. Here's what that could mean for humans.

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

We usually don't think much about it, but our brain is pretty amazing! This three-pound organ is in charge of everything—from our thoughts and memories to our emotions and decision-making. And yet, ...

What goes on in your brain while watching a movie? MIT neuroscientists have made remarkable progress in answering this question by creating the most detailed functional brain map to date. By observing ...
