A study using electroencephalography found that the extent of memory retention after sleep is associated with time spent in slow wave sleep. The location where the brain shows neural activity ...

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations -- it's a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few ...

The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

In a world saturated with stories—from ancient myths to TikTok clips—narratives knit together emotion, memory, and meaning. A new study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that how a story is told ...

Restoring memory and mental sharpness in older adults isn't just about fighting disease; it's about decoding the subtle shifts inside the aging brain. Surprisingly, cognitive decline in healthy aging ...

Poor sleep among older adults is linked to disruptions in the brain's 'waste removal system', according to researchers. A recent study offers valuable insight into how sleep quality impacts brain ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...
