Neuroscientists reveal how the brain decides which locations will best anchor memories—before new experiences even happen.

A research team from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the Medical Center—University of Freiburg has gained new insights into the brain processes involved in encoding and ...

It’s lunchtime, and you and your friend are hungry. You venture into the kitchen and make your favorite sandwich—peanut butter and jelly. You assume your friend can make the same thing, but they have ...

A research team from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the Medical Center – University of Freiburg has gained new insights into the brain processes involved in encoding ...

A computational model explains how place cells in the hippocampus can be recruited to form any kind of episodic memory, even when there's no spatial component. Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists ...

In the realm of memories, "where" holds special importance. Where did I leave my keys? Where did I eat dinner last night? Where did I first meet that friend? Recalling locations is necessary for daily ...

A new study sheds light on how our brains rhythmically organize memories at the level of individual nerve cells. Researchers in Germany have found that single neurons in the human medial temporal lobe ...

Stanford scientists found that aging disrupts the brain’s internal navigation system in mice, mirroring spatial memory decline in humans. Older mice struggled to recall familiar locations, while a few ...

Mathematicians from the University of Amsterdam ran an experiment where a frictionless billiard ball was given spatial memory, meaning it never crossed its own path twice. After running the simulation ...
