With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Virginia Tech scientists Shannon Farris (left) and Sharon Swanger of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have received support from the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Alzheimer’s and Related ...

Schematic model showing how memory is consolidated in the prefrontal cortex and how circuitry through the amygdala shifts as hippocampal engram cells become silent and cortical engrams become active.

If you’re expecting an important visitor but you just have to step out for a moment, an electronic doorbell memory can come in handy so you can see whether someone rang while you were out. Of course, ...

A computational model explains how place cells in the hippocampus can be recruited to form any kind of episodic memory, even when there's no spatial component. Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists ...
