In our age of information overload, remembering things can be a daunting task. But as a memory researcher and college professor, I’ve found some hope in that challenge. In January 2021, like millions ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

“If you really want to understand the brain, you have to take the top off and look inside,” says Roger Nicoll, MD. But don’t flip your wig just yet -- Nicoll's UCSF research team is learning about the ...

In recent decades, a convergence of cognitive psychology and educational research has provided compelling evidence for the adoption of evidence-based learning strategies aimed at enhancing memory ...

Researchers found that older adults learned a memory task best after practicing multiple related tasks, suggesting that diverse cognitive training supports mental sharpness as we age. When Ilber ...

As researchers try to build more complex computers that get closer to emulating the way the human brain works, one of the areas of focus is memory. Existing chips, hard disks and tape drives are great ...

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 ...

A team led by BBRF grantees has proposed a markedly new way of understanding the role of dopamine in the brain in processes involved in learning and memory. The revised view of the neurotransmitter ...
