Scientists at Skoltech developed a new mathematical model of memory that explores how information is encoded and stored.

It turns out your brain might not be the only part of your body that remembers. Scientists at NYU have found that cells outside the brain—like those from your kidneys—can actually "learn" and form ...

Skoltech developed a mathematical model showing memory performs best in seven dimensions—equal to having seven senses. The ...

Learning comes from all our senses. Whether it is judging the situation, or object, we judge it according to our 5 senses.

A recent brain-scan study sheds light on how people's brains divide continuous experiences into meaningful segments, like scenes in a movie. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

The parts of the brain that are needed to remember words, and how these are affected by a common form of epilepsy, have been identified by a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons at UCL. The new ...

The traditional boundaries between professional and personal life are increasingly blurred. The idea of work-life balance — where work and personal time are neatly divided — has given way to a more ...

What if the key to being a better manager isn’t found in a new productivity hack, a different feedback framework, or a time management app—but in understanding the three-pound organ inside your head ...

You’ve probably heard of dopamine, oxytocin, and cortisol. Maybe you know dopamine has something to do with feeling good, oxytocin is linked to bonding, and cortisol is that stress chemical you’d ...
