These findings not only deepen our understanding of memory encoding and retrieval but also provide insights into the hippocampus’s role as a coordinator and its interaction with the neocortex.

Memory task-specific encoding by neuronal networks in the human hippocampus Date: May 6, 2015 Source: American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Summary: Epilepsy patients undergoing ...

Despite a century of research, memory encoding in the brain has remained mysterious. Neuronal synaptic connection strengths are involved, but synaptic components are short-lived while memories ...

Researchers from HSE University and the University of California San Diego, Igor Utochkin and Timothy Brady, have found new evidence of hierarchical encoding of images in visual working memory.

Neuroimaging studies show that the efficacy of long-term memory encoding of a stimulus is indexed by transient neural activity elicited by that stimulus. Here, we show that successful memory ...

Using positron emission tomography, we show that bilateral amygdala activity during memory encoding is correlated with enhanced episodic recognition memory for both pleasant and aversive visual ...
