A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

Memory can be broken down into multiple types, including long-term memory, short-term memory, explicit and implicit memory, and working memory. Memory is a process in your brain that enables you to ...

A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — might explain why the human brain has such a huge storage capacity, researchers reported in the journal PNAS in May. The study looks ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them—an effect called infantile amnesia. A ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...
