A brief bout of physical exercise can create "ripples" of activity in your brain that help you store and retrieve memories.

A new study suggests a single exercise session can increase electrical “ripples” in parts of the brain that support memory and learning ability. The research recorded electrical activity directly from ...

Whenever you ride a bike or knit a sweater, you’re using your procedural memory. Two cognitive scientists explain what it is ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into “what” and “where/when” using two different groups of neurons.

A study published in Nature by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine changes the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of brain cells called neurons ...
