Human memory is amazing. Psychologists who study memory have subdivided it into several memory types. First, there is sensory memory, or memory for information coming into the brain via a sensory ...

A device sold online to stimulate brain wave activity enhances theta wave activity in the brain and boosted performance on a memory test, UC Davis neuroscientists found. (Getty Images) The entrainment ...

In a new study published in Neuron titled, “Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms,” researchers from the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at Massachusetts Institute of ...

As the rats ran down a short balance beam, stopping occasionally to poke their noses at a water fountain, their brains knew something was off. Inside the hippocampus, a brain region that documents the ...
