Memories are thought to be encoded in the brain as enduring physical and chemical changes, or engrams. Although recent technological advances have enabled substantial progress in our understanding of ...

A novel viral tool (FLEN) is designed, and used to monitor changes in the intrinsic and synaptic properties of engram cells quickly (3–6 hours) following encoding of a memory.

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 ...

When a new memory forms the brain undergoes physical and functional changes known collectively as a “memory trace.” This memory trace represents the specific patterns of neuronal activity and ...

Dynamic mechanisms of engram maturation. During the allocation, engram allocation is primarily governed by enhancements in intrinsic neuronal excitability, driven primarily by increased ...

Memory is the fundamental cognitive process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information, specifically your experiences and knowledge. Some memories last mere seconds before your brain discards ...

A new study has identified a specific neural pathway that connects the brain’s processing of internal states to the formation ...
