All memory storage devices, from your brain to the RAM in your computer, store information by changing their physical qualities. Over 130 years ago, pioneering neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal ...
Do all our cells have a type of memory, and if so, how might this influence health? We investigate. Design by MNT; Photography by Grant Faint/Getty Images & Ed Reschke/Getty Images. Memory is one of ...
A simple roll of adhesive tape may seem far removed from advanced technology. Yet researchers at Penn State have uncovered something remarkable hidden in this everyday material.
A study from the University of East Anglia is helping scientists better understand how our brains remember past events—and how those memories can change over time. A new paper published in ...
Memory is a continually unfolding process. Initial details of an experience take shape in memory; the brain’s representation of that information then changes over time. With subsequent reactivations, ...
A new study now published in Science reveals that the memory for a specific experience is stored in multiple parallel "copies." These are preserved for varying durations, modified to certain degrees, ...
A new study reveals that the memory for a specific experience is stored in multiple parallel 'copies'. These are preserved for varying durations, modified to certain degrees, and sometimes deleted ...

A sequence of molecular 'timers' inside the brain decides what gets stored as memory and what slips away — overturning decades of textbook models
Every day, your brain takes in far more information than it will ever keep. Most of it vanishes within hours. A few ...
