Our brains have billions of highly calibrated nerve cells or neurons, and each neuron has thousands of connections to other neurons.

Before they enter a classroom, people learn to identify commonplace objects like a “dog” and a “chair” just by encountering them in life.

Our brains rarely record single memories—instead, they store memories into groups so that the recollection of one memory triggers others.

Adding cranberries to your diet could help improve memory and brain function, and lower ‘bad’ cholesterol – according to new research.

During sleep, we commonly experience two types of sleep phases, alternating one after the other: non-REM sleep and REM sleep.

Scientists report certain people who feel lonely over a sustained period of time may experience elevated decline in verbal memory skills.

In a Cedars-Sinai study, researchers have discovered two types of brain cells that play a key role in dividing continuous human experience.

Researchers have identified two types of cells in our brains that are involved in organizing discrete memories based on when they occurred.

A simple memory test could pick up the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease well before symptoms start to show, scientists say.

MIT researchers has devised a new approach that allows memory sharing while providing strong security against side-channel attacks.

Research shows for the first time that in natural vision, visual memory of images is affected by the size of the image on the retina.

Counter to the general assumption that memories simply decay with time, ‘forgetting’ might not be a bad thing, according to scientists.

It turns out that human memory can be edited on the fly, creating memories that are nowhere near set in stone.

Hard drives and flash storage have gotten more reliable over the years, but only on a human timescale. What if we need longer data storage.

The ability to remember relationships between unrelated items (an odor and a location, a song and an event) is known as associative memory

A study found that a waterfall, bird songs and waves crashing on a beach are among the sounds that can bring back happiest memories.

Scientists have spent decades searching for faster, more energy-efficient memory technologies for everything from data centers to mobile.

The idea of using multiple switching in a single element draws inspiration from how the brain works and fundamentally reimagines the design

People remember past experiences through the so-called episodic memory system and can manipulate their memories on three levels.

A team of scientists has uncovered a system in the brain used in the processing of information and in the storing of memories
