Influential models of visual working memory treat each item to be stored as an independent unit and assume that there are no interactions between items. However, real-world displays have structure ...

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.

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.

A new study sheds light on how our brains rhythmically organize memories at the level of individual nerve cells. Researchers ...

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 ...

The CA3 region of the hippocampus is important for rapid encoding of memory. Computational theories have proposed specific roles in hippocampal function and memory for the sparse inputs from the ...
