A new study finds that Eurasian jays exhibit episodic-like memory, a type of memory previously thought to be unique to humans. The birds were able to remember incidental details of past events, ...
A new study reveals that repetitive practice not only improves skills but also induces significant changes in the brain's memory pathways. The research shows how training mice to recall odor seq...
Sleep apnea events during REM sleep are linked to verbal memory impairment in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease. The research highlights the importance of focusing on sleep-stage-spec...
A new study found that some people lack an inner voice, termed "anendophasia," impacting their verbal memory and rhyme recognition. Participants without an inner voice struggled more with these ...
