We've all experienced this at least once – smell something and get instantly transported back into our childhood. Strong memories are associated with various smells and situations, a fact which has been known for quite some time. But a new set of studies seems to show that the smells we experience for the ... |

In a new study conducted on unsuspecting mice, Swedish researchers at the medical university Karolinska Institutet managed to accomplish a major breakthrough in the field of neuroscience, when they identified a mechanism related to the formation of long-term memories. Their find essentially controls the brain's ... |

Though scientists still have no clue why we need to sleep, if we don't, there are always consequences. One of the most severe is the fact that our memory is left in tatters and that we lose our ability to concentrate on the tasks at hand throughout the next day. Now, researchers hope to counteract some of these ... |

As evidenced countless times in jails around the world, including the US-operated Guantanamo Bay prison, in Cuba, torture has not yet been completely removed from common practice, when it comes to interrogating prisoners. During the Bush administration, torture was used extensively to collect data from so-called terr... |

Scientists at the University of California in Irvine (UCI) have recently demonstrated, in a study on college students, that memories once thought lost actually still reside within the brain. The find was made using advanced brain-imaging techniques, the experts report in the latest issue of the journal Neuron. The ma... |

Neurobiologists have known for a long time that new memories accumulated in the brain change the organ's very structure, causing it to change its shape in order to accumulate the knowledge. But exactly how this is done, and where new memories are stored is a puzzle. Now, a groundbreaking new study from experts a... |

Experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated in a new mouse-model study that the animals that are prevented from remembering data collected during the day while sleeping tend to have “fuzzy” memories the next day, as opposed to mice who were left to sleep undisturbed. The researc... |

For quite some time now, experts have wondered how exactly it is that the human brain is able to store memories of single events, and to recall them at a moment's notice. Over the years, they have noticed that the emotional response this type of memories draws from people is almost identical to the one incited b... |

One of the most important things that have allowed humans to develop to the stage they've achieved now is the trait of the brain known as short-term memory (STM). Basically, what it does is allow individuals to remember details of what their eyes saw a good few seconds after the image in front of them changed. T... |

People often take for granted traits of their brain that have had experts puzzled for generations. That is to say, for example, they don't know exactly how the part of the cortex that deals with memory operates when they need to find the car they parked in a very busy supermarket parking lot. The scientists also... |

In most people, their most powerful memories are those of a single event, such as a birth, a funeral, a death, a birthday party, a wedding proposal, and so on. And while everyone knows this, scientists have found it close to impossible until now to understand what exactly is going on inside the brain that allows them... |

With every new study, psychologists and brain experts find that their level of knowledge of the human brain is actually a lot smaller than they used to believe. For instance, a new research shows that various stages of sleep are directly linked to the long-term memory embedding process. In other words, the quality of... |

The new research has been prompted by a very old question, and namely what is it that makes us remember certain moments of our past when we listen to the music we heard at that time? From a medical perspective, understanding precisely what makes this happen is crucial, and now a researcher from the University of Cali... |

Having a super-memory has nothing to do with genetic manipulation or secret drugs, medical experts say. They say that some humans are born with specific wiring in their brain, which allows them to remember not only the most important happenings in their lives, but also the lesser ones, experienced decades ago. This c... |

Scientists at the UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that brain cells in the frontal cortex can store trace amounts of memories on their own, for as long as an entire minute. The study, which will appear in the February issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, details for the first time portions of the b... |

The MRAM or Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory is part of a class of non-volatile computer memory (NVRAM) that has been developing ever since the early 1990's. The unique properties of these kinds of memories are thought to make them the dominant used memories in the future.Instead of using electric charges t... |

All the worlds in Chain of Memories (with the exception of Twilight Town) are the same worlds contained in the first Kingdom Hearts, except for the "Deep Jungle" world. However, the plotlines slightly differ from those in the original game, and generally revolve around the themes of memory and feelings. The story of ... |
