A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

You might say you have a "bad memory" because you don't remember what cake you had at your last birthday party or the plot of a movie you watched last month. On the other hand, you might precisely ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

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, according to researchers from the School ...

New UK research challenges some scientists' fundamental assumptions about how memory works, relying on the entire brain.

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 ...

Recent research suggests that repeated "replays" of episodic memories—i.e., memories of personal episodes from our past—can help improve our ability to visually distinguish between scenes, faces, and ...

Your implicit memory helps you remember how to do things without consciously thinking about it. It includes skills and habits, like how to ride a bike and how to get around your house. It also ...

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 ...

Semantic memory is a form of long-term memory that comprises a person’s knowledge about the world. Along with episodic memory, it is considered a kind of explicit memory, because a person is ...
