Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered a new pathway to forming long-term memories in the brain. Their work suggests that long-term memory can form ...

Rather than holding information in specific areas of the brain, our memories are represented by the connections between neurons, called synapses. According to a recent study from the Salk Institute in ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from Stanford University and Yale University have explored the interplay between short-term and long-term memory in animals. Learning and memory in ...

Sometimes, we search for information in long-term memory and find it—a name, a movie title, or a vivid example to support a general conclusion. Other times, we're unable to recall what we believe we ...

Multitasking usually lowers productivity because most people are “task switching,” which creates a mental “switch cost” that slows processing and reduces accuracy. Switching between tasks strains ...
