Memory is often understood purely on a theoretical, cognitive basis. However, this perspective can only explain so much. Neuroanatomy offers an understanding of the physical areas of the brain in which these processes occur. Together, they form a part of cognitive neuroscience.

1. In this randomized controlled trial, improvements in episodic memory in older adults who underwent a moderate-intensity exercise program were mediated by baseline sleep efficiency—those with lower sleep efficiency demonstrated greater improvements in episodic memory following the treatment. 2. However, there were no differences in sleep parameters, including duration, sleep efficiency, and sleep onset latency,

A world-first clinical trial in Australia has found that Sailuotong (SLT), a Chinese herbal medicine compound, can significantly improve memory and executive functions in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Key findings: The trial, led by researchers at Western Sydney University, found that participants who received 180 milligrams of SLT per day for a period of 12 weeks demonstrated improvements in certain memory and executive functions — including delayed episodic memory retrie...

In his most-cited work, a chapter from the 1972 book Organization of Memory, he described episodic and semantic memory as ‘two parallel and partially overlapping information processing systems’

La Peña Cultural Center hosted a commemoration for the 50th anniversary of the coup d’état in Chile on Monday. The evening’s events included performance, conversation and celebration.

The human brain is often compared to a machine because it performs various complex functions that enable us to live our lives. However, like any machine, it requires maintenance and repair to work efficiently. A healthy brain leads to a healthy life, and neglecting its care can result in various mental health issues, such as stress, anxiety, and depression.

Max Planck Florida will be able to expand their research program to investigate the neural circuits underlying Alzheimer's disease with new support.

Memory loss is one of the most devastating effects of Alzheimer's disease, yet the mechanisms behind it remain a mystery. MPFI is working to change that...

In the current literature on Episodic Memory (EM), mental representations are often assumed to stand out as the main view that promises to explain how we experience past personal events. However, proponents of Radical Enactive Cognition (REC) have argued that this view is empirically and theoretically inadequate due to issues with misremembering - failure to recall events in the past accurately - and the Hard Problem of Content (HPC) (Hutto & Myin 2013, 2017). This thesis aims to utilise REC...

Korsakoff Syndrome is a memory disorder caused due to alcohol abuse and thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. Memory loss and confabulation are the main symptoms.
