A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

Traditionally, explicit long-term memory (the intentional, conscious recollection of things and experiences) is divided into ...

Everyone sees themselves through their own eyes, but our memories shape how we judge the person staring back in the mirror.

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in ...

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

Memory actually takes many different forms. We know that when we store a memory, we are storing information. But, what that information is and how long we retain it determines what type of memory it ...

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

Research continues to indicate how imperative it is for us to start protecting our memory earlier in life. But when it comes to implicit vs. explicit memory, what’s the difference? Why are they ...
