The traditional model of memory proposes that different types of long term memory are processed in separate brain modules.
Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...
One such memory imperfection is trauma-induced forgetting. Traumatic experiences tend to lead to a narrowing of our attention (Easterbrook, 1959; Christianson & Loftus, 1991). During a car crash, for ...
A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks. Researchers expected clear differences but instead found strong overlap ...
Just like a time machine, episodic memory enables us to travel to the past in our minds and relive personal experiences with full clarity, as if we were going through them all over again. These can ...
In a new study Indiana University researchers observed episodic memory in rats to a degree never documented before, suggesting that rats can serve as a model for complex cognitive processes often ...
Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...
In a new study Indiana University researchers observed episodic memory in rats to a degree never documented before, suggesting that rats can serve as a model for complex cognitive processes often ...
A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, the findings could redefine how memory ...
