Researchers have shown that retrieval practice can improve memory in individuals with severe traumatic brain injury. Despite the small sample size, it was clear that retrieval practice was superior to ...

Sometimes, we search for information in long-term memory and find it—a name, a movie title, or a vivid example to support a general conclusion. Other times, we're unable to recall what we believe we ...

The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds and contains 80 to 100 billion neurons, which are the cells that store information. But how do these cells store information? How do we retrieve that ...

Memory retrieval is a dynamic aspect of memory formation that can be studied separately from other stages of memory processing. Although several signal transduction pathways including ERK/MAP kinase ...

Reconsolidation has been conceptualized as a post-retrieval process that stabilizes memory made labile by retrieval. This theory remains controversial, and one major question is whether post-retrieval ...

New research suggests that the subiculum, a part of the hippocampus that is rarely studied, is central to the memory retrieval process. This work also indicates that memory formation and memory recall ...

It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn't enough to meet the growing data ...

A. Overview of hippocampal dynamics during movie watching. FMRI data from the hippocampus were measured at the voxel level, and low-dimensional subspaces for two types of novelty and memorability were ...

In early Alzheimer’s disease, people have trouble remembering what they did days, or even hours, prior. Is this because they lose the ability to store new memories, or are memories formed, but not ...
