See more details Emerging evidence suggests that hippocampus contributes to visual short-term memory (VSTM). However, the role of hippocampal ripple activity—brief high-frequency oscillations ...

A person’s memory is a sea of images and other sensory impressions, facts and meanings, echoes of past feelings, and ingrained codes for how to behave—a diverse well of information. Naturally, there ...

Multitasking usually lowers productivity because most people are “task switching,” which creates a mental “switch cost” that slows processing and reduces accuracy. Switching between tasks strains ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...
