A collaboration between SISSA’s Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, ...

Our memories are rich in detail: we can vividly recall the color of our home, the layout of our kitchen, or the front of our favorite cafe . How the brain encodes this information has long puzzled ...

Recent research suggests that repeated "replays" of episodic memories—i.e., memories of personal episodes from our past—can help improve our ability to visually distinguish between scenes, faces, and ...

A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience reports that retinotopic coding may determine how information from the retina is processed in the brain cortex. How does sensory signaling interact with ...

Recent neuroscience studies have been investigating how the stimulation of some nerves, particularly the vagus nerve, using electrical pulses affects neural activity in the mammalian brain. The vagus ...

The unreliability of episodic memory may seem at odds with its ability to fine-tune our perceptual capacities. Less error-prone, episodic memories related to dreams, hyper-focus, and expertise may ...
