The UCLA Brain Research Institute hosted the annual Southern California Learning and Memory Symposium on March 3. Participants and attendees gathered in the Neuroscience Research Building for a day of ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating 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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...

These distinct tests enabled the scientists to observe specific hippocampal activity during learning and then memory replay and consolidation in sleep. Because of the way our pupils change in response ...

One of sleep’s key functions is to stabilize and integrate new memories into our brain’s long-term memory systems, a process known as "consolidation." This idea is now widely accepted, though it ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...
