In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers investigated whether post-encoding ripples improve emotional memory through amygdala-hippocampal memory restoration or ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

A novel viral tool (FLEN) is designed, and used to monitor changes in the intrinsic and synaptic properties of engram cells quickly (3–6 hours) following encoding of a memory.

Innovative brain-wide mapping study shows that 'engrams,' the ensemble of neurons encoding a memory, is widely distributed including among regions not previously recognized. A new study by scientists ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

In the brains of adult mice, communication through astrocyte networks controls the formation of spatial memories and plasticity in the hippocampus, a new study led by scientists at the Institute of ...

An intriguing new study from a team of Japanese researchers suggests handwriting on paper leads to greater brain activity and memory retention compared to handwriting with a stylus on a tablet. The ...

Scientists have identified key genes involved in brain waves that are pivotal for encoding memories. The findings could eventually be used to develop novel therapies for people with memory loss ...
